Denise Holmes, Edge Leadership Consulting
Great, you are charged with implementing an exciting new initiative in your organization. Your initiative could be a process improvement effort, a software implementation, a quality initiative, or even a culture shift. The vision is clear, you have the team, you’re ready to get started, and you are already anticipating the wins of a successfully implemented project. But what about those times when you start implementing and suddenly face unexpected resistance? The missing bridge between vision and execution is building ALIGNMENT so that people on your team, within your organization, and even in an external client system have buy-in and are ready to work WITH you rather than AGAINST you.
I will share three drivers of alignment that will change how you approach any type of change initiative. You will know how to tactically bridge the gap between vision and execution so that any project or change initiative you sponsor is effectively supported.
This presentation is ideal for organizational leaders sponsoring change initiatives of any type and is also applicable for project leaders frustrated with projects that fall short due to lack of buy-in from key stakeholders.
