Prosci Webinar: The Holistic Approach to Change Management - Insights and Inn...Prosci ANZ
For nearly twenty years, Prosci has been conducting change management research to identify benchmarks and best practices for leading the people side of change (and the 10th Best Practices in Change Management study is now open!)
As the discipline matures, the core of this body of knowledge has stabilized, and well-established findings guide many practitioners’ change management work. But with every study, this research has expanded into new topic areas and shed light on the most innovative applications of change management.
This webinar will examine the new topics explored in the most recent Best Practices in Change Management study (including cultural adaptation, change agent networks, and vertical industry impact) and how you can apply these findings to your work.

Abstract- The purpose of this study was to improve the internal efficiency of a non-profit organization, using the Creative Problem Solving (CPS) method. The research was designed around an intervention and structured in three stages (pre-consult, intervention and follow-up), with a team designated by management, in order to bring leadership cohesion to both departments of the organization and also between the board and executive management. The results, allowed us to conclude on the effectiveness of the CPS method to improve organizational innovation and change, by driving more and more teams in the organization to adopt it, and by establishing a stronger relationship between departments, as well as between the board and executive management
