The increasing rate and complexity of change in the accounting profession – and our world – continues to drive the need for us to provide critical leadership as we navigate change in our firms. During this 2-hour session, we will explore proven change leadership tools and tactics that can help participants lead through change more effectively, no matter what role they currently hold in their firms. Specific content includes a brief overview of proven frameworks such as Kotter’s 8 Accelerators for Leading Change and Bridges’ Managing Transitions which provide critical insights for direct application to your role.

Participants will be asked to bring a specific change that they are currently leading or playing a key role in gaining support/adoption or one they are preparing to lead and/or expect to play a key role in building support/adoption.

Outcomes of the session include:

• Better understanding of the dynamics of change, and how to create buy-in and momentum around change that you are leading or supporting.
• Identifying change leadership actions that you can take to help your firm move forward during times of change no matter what role you hold.
• Tactics for helping others transition during times of change.
• Tools and strategies for effective communication to build awareness and activation around your change initiative.
• Tips for building the right team to lead a change effort.
• How to be a more effective leader in the change process.
• Understanding the importance of “wins” in building and maintaining energy and morale.
• Initial work on a checklist/action plan that you can act upon right away and continue to refine and enhance over time for this change you’re focused on and use as a tool for future change leadership efforts.
