An HR Network event
19th April 2012
As we teeter on the brink of a double dip recession, change remains high on organisational agendas. Our work in the field of OD, particularly in large scale and rapid change suggests that practitioners need new sense-making frameworks and models, as well as tools and techniques to help them navigate complex, emergent change where outcomes are far from certain. In this practical workshop we take a look at some of the helpful tools in the OD arena and the latest thinking in the field of complexity, self-organisation and social movement. In addition we will draw on new developments from neuroscience to highlight how people experience the ‘pain’ of change and what that means for the way we manage it.
A key aim of this workshop is to provide space and time for you to work with others on the challenges that you are currently facing. There will be plenty of opportunity to discuss and work with these new ideas and frameworks and to test out how you might apply them in your own organisational context.
