The rapid rate of change and increased complexity in markets, customers, products, and services is making it almost impossible to keep up, let alone stay ahead, in business. Combined with the emergence of unimaginable competition, the frequency and pace of change required to thrive in the global marketplace has reached a point where it affects everything. We need to be able to change swiftly to solve new problems faster, accelerate innovation, and get our products and services to market faster. If we do this, we outperform the competition.
This Council helps leaders leverage their collective experience to meet these challenges head on. Our mission is to advance the practice of change management by creating new thought leadership and developing capabilities for extraordinary performance.
We focus on change management challenges in business transformation and renewal, global reorganization, and employee engagement. These business needs will drive our research, collaboration, and application in the following areas:
- Change and Transformation assessment & strategy development & renewal, sponsorship, stakeholder alignment
- Adoption and implementation of strategic and operational programs & projects, to drive growth and add new value through digital transformation and other shifts in business & social environments
- Training, coaching & facilitation in leading change management concepts & practices, with a particular focus on shifts in mindset and culture for leaders and employees
