In today’s unpredictable and swiftly shifting conditions, the success of change efforts is not based on the detailed plans we inevitably put together, but rather on how we engage people in real time, and work with their energy, concerns and creativity and emerging possibilities as the process unfolds.
Leaders and consultants are asked to stabilize when things feel uncertain, bring clarity to vision, build alignment where perspectives diverge and work with the presence or absence of momentum—grounding and focusing it when it intensifies or cultivating it when systems feel stuck or overwhelmed. This requires both a well-designed process and the ability to meet people where they actually are.
Designing & Leading Change Workshop
In this workshop, we focus on designing and guiding organizational change processes that respond to these realities. Drawing on The Grove’s core change frameworks and visual approaches, you will learn how to create the right outer process structures while working skillfully with the human dynamics that determine whether change takes hold. Using The Grove’s new Transformational Competency Assessment, you will be able to identify your strengths and prioritize the growth edges most important to you.
We bring complementary perspectives to this workshop. Sarah DeWitt draws on her experience leading complex change from within organizations, while I bring decades of consulting experience across systems and sectors. Together, we focus on what it takes to engage stakeholders, contract for success, facilitate key turning points and move change forward in ways that are both grounded and transformational.
This is a hands-on, lab-style experience. You will bring a current change challenge and work directly with it, using The Grove’s graphic templates and methods to design, test and refine your approach alongside peers.
