Leading Change at All Level of the Organization
Friday, September 30, 2005

We often hear that change starts at the top of organizations, but never hear about how often it also stops there, with dire consequences for long-term organizational success.

We see enthusiastic senior managers, who often embody change, frequently stand in stark contrast to middle managers, who seem more alienated, more paralyzed, and more resistant to change than committed to it.

What’s going on?

Join us on September 30 as the Center for Human Capital, Innovation, and Technology (HCIT) presents an exciting and practical program examining the role of leadership in effectively managing change.

This unique conference focuses on the roles played by leaders throughout different levels of the organization—from CEO to middle managers to front-line supervisors—in managing change effectively. High on practical insights, rich with first-hand experience, this program is buttressed by world-class change research conducted by Smith School Faculty and HCIT Faculty Associates.

You’ll learn how to:

Set and pace the change agenda
Develop leadership roles of middle and front-line managers
Monitor employee support for change
Enhance and maintain organizational innovation

Featured speakers include Michael D. Brannigan, president of North American Solutions Group for Xerox Corp., and Ginger Malone, chief nurse executive for Children’s Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota.

If your organization is contemplating or undergoing large-scale or radical change, please join us. Discover how to lead change effectively from all levels of the organizations.
