THE MOTIVATING CHANGE: How to Create a More Motivating Environment During Big Change Initiatives
Co-hosted by Nathalie Aelterman (Impetus Academy) and Matt Richter (LDA)
When: January 8, 22, and February 5 from 10h00 to 14h00 ET (New York time).
OVERVIEW
No one likes change. At least so the old adage goes. But there is some truth to this.
Have you ever been a part of a big change in your organization? Or, been the victim… ehhh… we mean… a person effected by a big change in your organization?
Or, have you ever led a big change, or initiated one and then asked others to lead it?
How did you feel? How did others feel?
Obviously, the answer depends on many factors. Such as whether you were the one who started it, or you were the one who had it “inflicted” on you. Maybe it went well. Cool! But, probably rare. As the change leader, you may have felt the change was required and an overall benefit but couldn’t quite get the team to align and support it. As a part of the effected team, maybe you completely accepted the change as necessary but found the execution stressful and problematic. Or you felt it was a stupid idea and never bought into it.
The above language describing change emotions is intended to be a bit dramatic. But we hope it highlights the emotional rollercoaster many experience when it comes to change.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES:
This 12-hour highly interactive program (three days, four hours each day) explores all the different motivational factors that are associated with change. By the end of the series, you will:
Get introduced to how people are motivated when it comes to change… whether you are the leader, a change manager, or someone affected by the shift.
Recognize the various change contexts you may encounter as both change leaders/managers and followers.
Diagnose and explore the various possible impacts one can experience during organizational change initiatives— emotionally, motivationally, operationally, etc.
Discover the three basic psychological needs all humans have and how these needs when satisfied support a change initiative, and when undermined, can kill it!
Get introduced to, and apply, the COMPASS, a tool for diagnosing your change environment.
Receive a checklist with highly practical and actionable tactics you can take to motivationally support the change environment.
Work through several case studies in different organizations that will enable you to explore the impacts change can have motivationally on teams and individuals.
Apply the tools and what you learn to your own work contexts.
Practice devising both strategic and tactical plans for change— both small and global through a series of low and high-fidelity simulations.
