Future Shock: Perspectives on Change

How up-to-date are our ideas about consulting about change?

Are there other perspectives that we could be considering in our practice as O.D. professionals and change agents?

At our May 13th meeting Ken Wessel will engage participants in a process of examining how we think about change.
He will lead us in interactive exercises that complement, challenge and/or shift our existing mindsets.

Drawn from premises from Ken’s experience, he will lead an interactive session that considers issues such as these:

IS CHANGE MANAGEABLE?
CAN AN ORGANIZATION SURVIVE IN THE ABSENCE OF CHANGE?
ARE LEADERSHIP AND CHANGE RELATED ?
ARE THERE STEPS THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO ENHANCE EFFECTIVE CHANGE ?
