The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing | August 2025 Expert Insights Webinar

The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing

Past Expert Insights Webinar

The mantra “Change is Hard” is insufficient.

Change and the transition process that creates change is human.

And humans are unique and messy. While change management provides valuable tools to organizational leaders, the fact is that each human experiences each change in a different way and at a different pace. That is why organizational change occurs one person at a time. This Expert Insights session will present a Transition Process theory.

Take-aways:

Learn a research-supported transition process
Understand why some change is hard, and some change is easy
Appreciate the transition process that others are experiencing

Audience: ALL

Managers, team leaders, and HR professionals
Mentors and mentees from all generations
Organizations interested in enhancing workplace culture and collaboration
Employees seeking career development opportunities

This session will focus on business capabilities and their role and position in the larger business architecture framework. It will explain how capabilities can be used as building blocks to achieve the outcomes an organization strives to define and execute and demonstrate how capabilities use and modify information with an example drawn from ongoing work to transform Minnesota’s human service delivery systems.
