Research consistently reveals high failure rates for change initiatives, especially those that involve information technology and business process change. At the heart of every IT project is a change initiative, often a transformational one. Yet most IT efforts are launched and delivered with little attention to change leadership.

Too often IT leaders are expected to know how to lead a change and what your role is in making a change successful. Though you understand what it takes to manage people, leading an organization through significant change requires a different set of skills.

Regardless of the change you are leading, effective change leadership skills are vital to your success. Whether your role is viewed as change catalyst, change agent, or change leader, that role is front and center about change.

Today's IT leader plays a central role as a partner in driving business strategy, business change, and business value. You must implement change within your organization as well as work hand-in-hand with business partners to create transformational change within the company.

Through this highly engaging workshop, you will equip yourself with the knowledge, confidence and tools to be positioned as a change leader. You will come away understanding what is involved in effectively leading change initiatives in your organization, develop a positive approach to resistance, and recognize how your leadership behaviors can move all stakeholders in a new direction.
