Change Management

Contact Us

Change is certain.
Buy-in isn’t.

Most change initiatives – some say as high as 70-80% — fail. Why? Because creating employee buy-in is difficult work. Those that are good at change are agile and able to do new things quickly. They effectively align key stakeholders around the challenge, involve them in the solution, and engage them to adopt it.

Change Management Workshops

 ExperienceChange
Jumpstart
(Half-Day)

For those who are time-crunched and for seasoned senior leaders, we recommend the “Play First” scenario. The simulation focuses on a company fraught with realistic change challenges. This half-day learning design immerses participants in the simulation right away and challenges them to apply what they currently understand about change to the situation at hand. A debrief and theory discussion follows with another chance for participants to play again – and immediately apply their new skills and mindsets.

(One-Day)

Take a 12-month change journey in a single day. Kimberly’s 25+ years of change management research and industry insights are packed into an intensive, one-day high-impact workshop. Through careful application of change management best practices to address GlobalTech’s realistic challenges, change teams build stakeholder buy-in and lead the company to success. The simulation provides learning-by-doing, followed by a powerful application focus. Thus, knowledge retention is optimized and change concepts become immediately relevant for your real-world project.

Transformational
Change Leadership
(Two-Day)

Ideally suited for launching change teams – or for getting them back on track. Attendees participate in the ExperienceChange simulation on Day One with 45-60 minutes of debrief at the end of the day. On Day Two, they get to apply what they have learned to their own change project. First, they develop their compelling “why” message about the change they are leading. Second, they create an action plan for what needs to change and when. Lastly – and in a time of significant change, most critically – they create their change communication plan, including key audiences, messages, vehicles, and timing. You leave this session with your change plan developed – and your team dynamics strengthened through this shared experience.

ExperienceChange
Jumpstart
(Half-Day)

For those who can only spare a half-day session, we recommend the “Play First” scenario for the training. The participants will take 3 hours to play the simulation with no introduction to change management and no training on the change model or the theory (only training on how to navigate the online simulation). We then conduct a large group debrief of their key learnings – followed by the opportunity to apply what they learned and play the simulation again. This gives participants a great vehicle for “testing” their change leadership knowledge coming into the room – and then get to focus on specific areas for improving between round 1 and round 2 of the simulation. Especially recommended for senior leaders who have less time and a greater base of knowledge/experience level with leading transformational change.
