Testimonial
I didn’t think it was my place to ask too many ‘why’ questions – why are we doing this? Why now? I was given the project to manage and told to make it happen. The Planning and Managing Conversations have given me the tools and the right approach to ask why and engage people in the right conversations. Now we are all on the same page and I feel confident we’ll get to a great result.
I will use these tools when I start the change management conversations with my business leads. I feel more prepared to guide the business to help them build their change management plans and for me to identify the risks of the change.
Now I know who the right people are to have at the table, how to position things with clients, and how to engage in meaningful conversations about change.
