A Roadmap for Building Organizational Change Management Capability

Building change management capability across an enterprise is a journey.

Event 2: Super Summit - 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm

Building Organizational Agility through Enterprise Change Management

Organizational agility is a strategic imperative and crucial source of competitive advantage in the years ahead. The velocity, pace, size and complexity of change on the horizon means that those who can “out change” the competition will be the winners. This keynote session by Tim Creasey will explore what you can do to build an organizational change management capability to increase organizational agility and success on an increasing portfolio of change.
