  Driving Strategic Change

  Secrets of Successful Strategy Execution

   

  The successful implementation of any strategy requires the explicit alignment of your organization’s people and processes. Without buy-in from employees at all levels, strategic initiatives often fail or fall short of their potential.

   

  What Does It Take to Lead Strategic Change Successfully?

   

  Wendy Mack’s specialty is working with leaders who want to energize and align their people in order to execute strategy and achieve rapid results. In her Driving Strategic Change presentations and interactive workshops, Wendy shares the secrets of successful change leaders:

  • Leaders don't drive change - employees do!
  • Successful change leaders focus on mobilizing and sustaining energy.
  • Overpowering resistance doesn't reduce problems - it simply hides them.
  • Sometimes it is strategically imperative to slow down in order to speed up.

  Participants leave this program feeling energized, empowered and equipped with tools and techniques they can use immediately to increase their effectiveness at leading strategic change.

   

  About the Speaker:

  Wendy Mack is a nationally recognized consultant, author, and speaker who advises leaders on how to mobilize energy in times of change. Since founding T3 Consulting in 2001, Wendy has consulted with dozens of companies on the engagement and communication aspects of their change initiatives.

  Basics of the ADDIE Model

   

  Have you ever been tasked with creating a training course on a complex topic and struggled with where to start? The best thing to do is to take this seemingly insurmountable task and break it down into manageable pieces.

   

  The ADDIE ISD Model separates the entire training development process into five distinct phases: Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate. This presentation examines the basic steps in each of the ADDIE Model phases and recommends some tools you can use to accomplish tasks during each phase.

   

  Whether you are an experienced developer familiar with the ADDIE approach, or just beginning your career in training development, this session is sure to provide you with valuable take-a-ways to improve your approach.
