Learn how organizations enable teams to work towards common goals to unleash the untapped potential of their people. Purpose-driven change recognizes that people/organizations do not readily accept change, and that leaders need to create the inspirational purpose for the desired change to happen.
Hear case studies from a diverse range of organizations and discover how their leaders ensure employees remain focused on working toward the same common direction with senior leadership. Discover:
- How a sense of purpose was created for the changes to be realized.
- How leadership was involved in the change process, how they engaged with the workforce and how they gained the trust of their people.
- The strategies and tactics used to build momentum and sustain the change.
During this two-hour session, time will be split between hearing from the panelists during a moderator-led panel, then each panelist will join in small group discussions.
