Erik, Leslie, Linda E attend Change management workshop
This morning, Leslie, Linda E. and Erik attended a change management workshop offered through the professional development center. The workshop touched on a variety of issues surrounding approaching change, managing change in work settings, and working with colleagues to address issues surrounding change in the workplace.
From the initial discussion of participants it was clear that change is a popular theme at Wake Forest right now and we spent a considerable amount of time talking about seeing an organization through both anticipated and unanticipated change.
A few of the strategies included bringing more people into the process of analyzing and problem solving, using extensive communication to make sure that everyone is informed about what is going on, anticipating reactions to change and planning for alternatives, and making sure that everyone had a shared concept of the ‘big picture.’
