Information and Registration

Even with an awareness of accelerating change around us, as human beings we find it difficult to embody embracing an uncertain future. Seeing ourselves as navigators of change, and not just problem solvers, is one step to orient you and your people to productive conversations and actions.

As procurement practitioners and professionals, we often find ourselves in that space of responding to changes versus driving change at our institutions. In this session we will explore how to create a culture to move beyond “this is the way we’ve always done things” to cultivate teams that bring passion and enthusiasm to their shared work and network of commitments. Using principles from previous successful change management programs, you will learn the tools to bring leaders together (Cabinet colleagues, presidents, boards and project teams) to a place of resolution and ambition.

In this program you will learn how to:

• Identify change agents to help drive your projects and how to avoid getting stuck catering to the vocal negative minority
• Learn a language action theory that orients us to building a commitment culture
• Raise your awareness of the moods of your peers, direct reports, and managers to shift from negativity to opening possibilities
• Build trust with others when introducing new technologies, processes, or changes in organizational structures
