Description: Implementing strategic change in an organization can be a daunting task. Current statistics indicate that nearly 70% of all change efforts fail. That’s an extraordinary waste of resources. So why is it that so many fail? In this session we will explore that question and discuss approaches to implementing sustainable change, including the DICE Framework, a tool that accurately predicts potential success or failure of a change initiative. Participants will have an opportunity to apply the DICE Framework to an existing or upcoming change effort.
