Organizations today are in a constant state of change. Strategic choices, new work formats, digitalization, and cultural shifts are intertwined.
We need a professional approach to change management where we take the impact of change on employees seriously.
The ADM Think Tank Change is organizing a panel discussion that will critically examine some persistent beliefs about change. We will address questions such as:
- Do all types of change require the same approach?
- Why do structural approaches often deliver strong results, but at the same time reach their limits?
- Is resistance to change a problem, or is it valuable information?
- Why is change rarely linear?
Leadership and middle management play a central role in the discussion.
- What does leadership mean when change becomes permanent?
- Which skills are still too often lacking in executive management today?
- Why do we expect middle managers to lead change without structurally equipping them to do so?
This panel discussion is an invitation to think together about how we can approach change in a realistic, human and context-sensitive way.
For those who do not want to manage change, but want to understand it.
