Description:
Your organization hits a wall, either because of an unexpected crisis or because long-simmering problems have finally boiled over. Now what?
In this live session, process improvement specialist Martin Stankard will show you how to turn a chaotic organizational situation into a platform for beneficial change. You will learn how to gather data from an organizational mess, organize your thinking, understand the situation and its potential, and handle the inevitable emotions created by the situation. Experienced change agents will benefit by seeing how to combine familiar elements, tools, and insights into an approach for diagnosing, coaching and “leading from the middle.”
In this session, you will learn:
- How to use simple, familiar tools to diagnose a messy situation in which interacting problems cause undesired performance effects.
- When to frame the mess as problems to be solved or as a system to be redesigned and rebuilt.
- What it will take to legitimize your framing of the opportunity.
- Whom to work with to ensure access to sufficient power and influence to move forward.
