Change management tools and methodologies rely on change being predictable and linear. However, anyone who has been part of a change initiative knows that change is anything but predictable. Rather, most organisations who pursue change are actually pursing transformational change - a type of change that fundamentally challenges the identity and values of the organisation.
Facilitating and sustaining this type of change takes a completely different mindset and set of skills. Join us for this session to learn about what it takes to facilitate truly successful change and what alternative model, tools and practices facilitators could instead be leveraging when facilitating transformational change.
Allison started her career as a management consultant at Deloitte and Accenture in New York City. After moving to Sydney in 2014 and obtaining her masters in Organisation Development, she began to notice the sublet shifts between change management and transformational change and how most organisations who wanted change were going about it in a counter productive way.
Allison has been working in Transformational Change for over 15 years. Her experience with over 30 organisations globally and frequent conversations with other change practitioners in the industry have led her to declare that "change management is dead!" Instead, we should be focusing on healthier, more energising, and more sustainable ways to facilitate change. One that honours the whole person and an individual's desire to make meaning of change and have agency in the process.
SFN members will remember Allison from her marvellous session in March 2020 on Facilitating HIgh Performing Teams in the Age of Complexity
