CHANGE MANAGEMENT

WHO MOVED MY CHEESE

Event Overview

In 1995, experts told us that we were ingesting more information in a single day than a person living during Shakespeare’s period took in their entire life!  In 2008, a Wall Street Journal article said, “We're living in ‘Internet Time,’ where policies and their consequences travel the world at the speed of light. The normal human reaction to such a rapid pace of change is to be overwhelmed, stressed out, anxious and fearful.”  Whether you’re a manager or an individual contributor, what are some steps you personally can take to deal with this rapid change so that you can keep moving in the right direction towards the right goals?  This event will take the terror out of change as it examines some very human reactions to it, as outlined in Dr. Spencer Johnson’s book, “Who Moved My Cheese?” – a humorous way to look at change in a non-threatening but eye-opening way.
