The Road to Change Maturity: Building Change Capacity in a Large, Global Organization 

Catherine Mitchell, Jacobs Solutions Inc & Stacy Hollowell, HP, Inc.

Are we there yet? If you're looking for ways to increase change capacity and resiliency in your organization to support OCM activities, join this lively session where two intrepid change guides share the roadmap they used, along with their encounters with construction, cross traffic, and roadside attractions (a.k.a metrics, resistance, other agendas, and silos), to develop a strong framework of OCM understanding and practice in a global company with 60K+ employees. We’ll share strategies for creating your own resiliency roadmap, along with tips, tricks, and tools to strengthen your practice.

When Change Management Adapts Like the Sales Team

Mark Henry, Do Even Better LLC

Sales is the front line and manages change on a daily basis - shifting customer preferences, adjusting to changing timelines, convincing customers to switch to their product/service, etc. So why can’t we as change managers adapt like that too?  Attendees of this talk will gain an understanding of how embracing certain sales behaviors, philosophies, tools, and tactics can lead to greater adoption and buy-in for Change Management initiatives. We will explore parallels between driving organizational change and complex sales, including the strategies and tactics that are often overlooked by Change Management teams. This highly practical talk will highlight non-salesy sales techniques, strategies for communication, and pitfalls to avoid. 

From Insights to Action: Harnessing the Power of Data-driven Decision-making in Change Measurement

Matt Csaki, Accenture & Brian Knoll, Accenture

Embark on a learning journey that will inspire your approach to change measurement and enable you to maximize the change impact. We'll dive into the importance of a measurement approach including defining success, understanding what to measure, and actions to take. We'll unveil a roadmap to value through analytics, provide a practical change measurement framework and share a success story to inspire you. At the end of the session, attendees will leave with valuable insights that will revolutionize the way they impact stakeholders and their organization as well as ideas to kickstart their company’s data-driven decision-making culture.
