The program topic for the evening is "The Change Management Institute’s Body of Knowledge, Part 2: Manage outcomes and impact using co-design facilitation."

Program 0.1 RUs

This is a follow up to the September 18, 2024 on the Change Management Institute's Body of Knowledge. That talk covered 3 of the 13 areas of CMI BoK, this talk will cover three more:

  • Managing change outcomes and benefits
  • Assessing change impact
  • Facilitating groups through a design and change process

After the program, the tutorial topic will be "Finding Common Ground: A participatory case study in facilitation."

Tutorial 0.1 RUs

There are few things that are harder than trying to guide a group to reach a conclusion that is acceptable to all parties. It often takes a facilitator to bring such a group process to a satisfactory conclusion. This Workshop will use a case study to guide us through creating a useful agenda for a facilitated meeting, judge whether that agenda has the right properties for the goals, and then consider what some of the pitfalls may be that a facilitator will have to work through.

Advance registration is required.  It provides us with a means to contact you directly with instructions to log-in to the meeting, and any changes or updates.

Please register no later than (NLT) noon, Sunday, February 9, 2025.
