Igniting Urgency + Building a Guiding Coalition

A Sense of Urgency is arguably the most critical – and often under-leveraged – ingredient in both inspiring and sustaining change. Learn how to create true urgency, and practice how to keep people on board and energized about your change. Then explore how to identify, recruit, engage, and equip a set of people to serve as your Guiding Coalition – spearheading the coordination of efforts over the course of your change.

Shaping a Vision + Gaining Buy-In

How do you paint a compelling picture of the future, and how do you help people see what will need to be done in order to make that vision a reality? Most importantly, how do you get them bought into this vision so they are inspired to help?

Learn how to craft an inspiring vision, and practice techniques that will allow you to win over even the biggest skeptics by more effectively navigating the objections they throw at you.

Generating Wins to Demonstrate Progress

Wins are the molecules of success – the proof points of progress. Learn how to build momentum around, reinforce, and sustain change through the practice of generating, discovering, communicating, and celebrating wins.

Ensuring Sustainable Implementation

Change requires constant reinforcement and support in order to be sustained and fully embedded. Learn how to assess the progress of your transformation, analyze where you are (and how much further you still need to go), and evaluate your systems and processes to ensure they reinforce – and do not detract from – the transformed organization. Leverage the power of storytelling and case studies to institute your change.
