A short video-review of the latest organizational change practitioners meeting in Belgium on June 7th 2012.
This is a short review of the second meeting of the Organizational Change Practitioners Group of LinkedIn. This time we gathered in Belgium around the topic of resistance. Like last time the invitation was sent out without an agenda, thereby requesting people to take the stage. An important note for these meetings is that we aim for peer-to-peer learning and that commercial pitches are not allowed. Have a look at the below video to see how that worked out:
What we learned was that resistance requires our empathy in the first place and that the question ‘how would I feel?’ may be the best starting point for any approach. We had three speakers on stage who did an excellent job at putting Organizational Change Management where it belongs: in the area of practitioners (as opposed to white-papers).
Together, they brought very pragmatic and down-to-earth examples and approaches to managing resistance. Our next meeting for Belgium will be scheduled somewhere in October.
PS: our next meeting will be on June 18th in San Francisco. Uset this linke to subscribe: http://linkd.in/JcbWpD
