  Change vs Transformation: What's the Difference? Why You Should Know.

  “When digital transformation is done right, it's like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, but when done wrong, all you have is a really fast caterpillar.” - George Westerman, MIT

  "Transformation" is the new buzzword on LinkedIn profiles and consulting websites. But can you describe the differences between transformation and change and how to help clients successfully achieve both? 

  OD professionals and change management consultants have a unique opportunity to recognize these nuances and position themselves as specialized experts to help guide companies through ambitious transformation journeys.

  In this interactive workshop, participants will:

  • Articulate the differences between change, a transformation for clients and company projects.
  • Assess their transformation IQs and identify potential career development opportunities using the BTM2 heatmap.
  •  Use a repeatable transformation framework to define a holistic business and culture transformation vision.
  •  Apply the “Transformation Communication Principle” to craft messaging that encourages autonomy, urgency to act, and a sense of belonging.

  Participants will receive infographic takeaways as a part of the presentation.

  The Human Element

  More than 50 years ago, Will Schutz proposed that all human behavior and the corresponding feelings towards others can be categorized into Inclusion/Significance, Control/Competence and Openness/ Likeability and they are essential and adequate for understanding human interaction.  

  His theory states that our behavior and feelings towards others stem from the way we see and feel about ourselves; that the more self aware we become, the greater our self esteem.  
  

  Individuals, teams, and groups who undergo programs powered by the Human Element often experience profound and lasting positive and radical change, affecting their personal and professional lives.  

  For this session the Human Element will be described, how it is applied in organizations, what the Instruments of Measure are, and what information it gives to participants.
