Uncovering the Methods of Effective, Sustainable Business Transformation and Employee Behavior
Organizational change is said to fail approximately 70% of the time for global organizations seeking to adopt and adapt to new methods of working, technology assimilation, critical thinking, shifts in skills, attitude and behaviors, and process improvements.
The reason for such failure is often misunderstood by business leaders who in effect continue to repeat the mistakes of the past with the belief that they will somehow work. It’s akin to managing the future with the mindset of the past.
In this session, Gary Grates, Grates Consulting Group, shares his expertise working with many industry leaders, such as General Motors, Merck, Caterpillar, PepsiCo, and more, on organizational change. Whether your organization is seeking to break-through in a seemingly cluttered segment, attempting to introduce a new product/service/innovation, implement a more sound process to address operating and supply chain issues, capture relevance, become more resilient, and gain market dominance via innovation, it is increasingly crucial to engage people in the organization to paint of picture in terms of the future – leadership mores, management techniques, manufacturing prowess, AI acumen, energy efficiency, corporate citizenship, provocative decisions, investments, challenges and the like.
