"Chaos and Change: How to Become a Quick-Change Artist
In chaos theory, there is an appreciation of the relationship between order and chaos. This is a world where chaos and order exist as partners to create organizations that are adaptive, creative and resilient. Curiosity, not certainty, is a critical skill. We must engage with each other, experiment to find what works for us, and support one another through the process. Learn the strategies to develop the courage to invest energy in finding and seizing the opportunities brought by change. Emphasize action.
By attending this session, you will:

1. Learn the key drivers of change

2. Recognize the four stages of transition

3. Identify the thirteen mistakes we make when facing transition

4. Consider thirteen new work behaviors to become a quick-change artist
