Are your leaders struggling to lead in times of profound change & ambiguity? Successful organizations must have the ability to deal with the sheer number of changes in strategy, business models, structure, culture and processes, as well as the ever-accelerating pace of change. The hard truth is that companies have a 1-in-3 chance of failing in the next five years – up from 1-in-20 less than 50 years ago. Globalization, technological innovation, and socio-political considerations are challenging established business models and companies must have strategies to embrace change and become resilient organizations.
This workshop is for both experienced and emerging leaders, whether in a senior role leading people through organizational, culture or other business changes or in a supervisory role leading a team for the first time.
