Breakthrough Thinking
Change is a hot topic in organizations today. Often, teams and individuals are deemed to
be “resistant to change” but more likely, they haven’t had an opportunity to understand or
examine how the changes may impact their current beliefs and mindset. Understanding
how to evolve the thinking of your team in order to create greater openness to change as it
happens, as well as examining practices for increasing a team’s overall willingness to change,
are critical elements to creating a change-ready organization.
WHAT YOU’LL BE COVERING
• Understand how changing our beliefs and existing thoughts can be one of the biggest barriers
to change.
• Identify existing beliefs—whether at the organizational, team or individual level—that may be
impacting our ability to change.
• Discuss our level of change readiness, and how it compares to other teams in our organization.
• Define new habits or routines to help keep us more open-minded.
• Overall, use a current or upcoming change initiative as the backdrop to the Conversation.
