Change Management Institute Podcast

Connecting evidence, experience, and impact. In the ever-increasing pace and scale of change, organisations need both qualitative and quantitative data to support change success. How are organisations measuring and ensuring that their people have both the capacity and capability to absorb all the change, whilst realising business benefits? And what are we learning from the experience? How do we lead with calm, clarity, and courage, creating stability and confidence when everything around us is in motion?

Change is designed and led with empathy, and psychological safety – focused on inclusive approaches to support lasting change. How are organisations and leaders placing an importance on lived human experience, creating trust, emotional intelligence and ensuring wellbeing is at the forefront of change? 

Successful cultural transformation requires patience, commitment, and a focus on supporting employees. Change practitioners play a critical role in cultivating environments of psychological safety and resilience. How can we embed well-being practices to reduce the stress of change, foster inclusivity, and build a genuinely supportive workplace culture?

Organisations are increasingly adopting digital tools, AI, and analytics. In this Change Learning Circle, we explore which tools best support change practitioners in navigating complex information, making data-informed adjustments, and delivering targeted, personalised change efforts.

If you have ever watched a documentary and immediately felt compelled to solo climb El Capitan, choose forks over knives, sail to Patagonia, or start your own Biggest Little farm, you are already familiar with the power of story.Stories can help us develop stronger teams and a stronger sense of community. By sharing our stories, we can readily define who we are and what we stand for. Stories can also be used to kickstart our creative juices and ignite new ideas. In summation, storytelling can be a very powerful tool used to support improvements and drive change in any organization. Join the USA and New York chapters as we talk about the power of leveraging narrative in the change space.In this session we will walk through a case study of an organization that successfully mastered the use of narrative to drive its change initiatives. Come join us as we “talk story” and discover how you can add the art of storytelling to your own change quiver.
