“Sustainable Change Management”
Presenter: Dr. Manu K. Vora
Chairman & President, Business Excellence, Inc.
Business excellence is defined through the Baldrige Performance Excellence Criteria. It includes improving customer outcomes and increasing productivity through the organization’s key processes and is driven by organizational leadership and management.
Sustainable organizational change requires being able to continuously adapt and improve processes in order to make lasting changes and maintain a competitive edge in the business market. This involves not only implementing proposed changes but also sustaining them for a lengthy period of time.
To take business productivity and growth to new heights, you’ll need to apply a practical framework and proven approach for business excellence.
This presentation will focus on three pillars of successful change management:
Leadership – key to initiating change for the benefit of the organization
Talent Management – important to recruit and retain the right team members and to create a culture of continuous learning and development
Project Management – vital to successfully achieve goals
Dr. Vora will also share useful tips on how to lead sustainable change management across various domains.
