Imagine an organization where employees freely share information, where they understand and are aligned with the purpose and goals of the organization, and where trust is an enabler for change. When a climate of trust exists, people capitalize on each other's strengths and create a flexible environment for innovation and results. Today, it's imperative for organizations to find ways to chronicle and share their best practices, to collaborate, recharge, and expand trust, and to reduce the distance between leaders and those they lead. Finding new approaches to empower this process requires change. Successful change is about discovery and resistance, and attending to the needs of the people who are an integral part of the process.
Successful change can only occur when people embrace and champion it.
The challenge is to create an environment for successful transitions through change. Think about a map. A map guides you. It is a powerful way, in less than 16 hours, to address the organization's need for knowledge sharing, collaboration, continuous improvement and innovation. Learning, improving performance and increasing organizational productivity are natural outcomes.
