Extending that attitude to all around you will allow you to maintain control of the emotions that cause stress.
 Strategic planning is the process of creating a wave of change while gaining commitment from your employees and other stakeholders necessary to make it happen. Yet, change inevitably engenders resistance. Even the best strategic plans can fail if this resistance is not met and overcome. Dr. Katz explains six principles for effective implementation: leadership, a clear vision or goal, a comprehensive perspective, a process for adverse opinions, persistence, and flexibility. She then provides examples of each of these components, and discusses current efforts within Stanford University that provide a model for successful change. Roberta Katz has served as senior vice president and general counsel of Netscape Communications Corp. She earned a PhD from Columbia University and is a graduate of the University of Washington School of Law. Dr. Katz is the author of "Justice Matters: Rescuing the Legal System for the 21st Century."
Is your organization adapting to the changing environment as quickly as your competitors? The creation of strategic change is one of the most critical challenges that managers face today, and it also proves to be one of the most difficult. Professor Phills draws on examples from his research and consulting experience to illustrate the psychological and organizational barriers that can get in the way. Explaining the need to balance advocacy with inquiry when in the midst of strategic discussions, Phills introduces a framework for surmounting communication breakdowns that otherwise prevent effective decision making and hinder constructive change. $99.99 [Add to Cart]
Jacqueline Novogratz Amazingly, something as essential as clean water is more difficult to come by for two-thirds of the world’s population.

Learn about successful programs that have used established business techniques to produce quantifiable results in some of the world’s most destitute areas.
 Change is no longer an event... Change is business as usual. Customers are demanding "better, faster, cheaper"; competition is fierce; and a turbulent economy and technological advances increase the pressure to "do more with less." Success today is dependent on keeping your work force resilient, positive, and engaged while this rapid (and accelerating) change constantly turns your organization upside down. Yet, employees are increasingly skeptical about committing to business strategies that are constantly being redefined. Program Highlights
Most companies that attempt fundamental transformation fail. From a ten-year study of over 500 firms, Professor Tabrizi found the successful ones share common practices: from creating an initial sense of urgency and top-down alignment, to building cross-functional teams with the stamina to “reassemble a flying plane,” to committing to ruthless operational execution and dramatic cultural change. Hewlett-Packard and Oracle had unique transformation goals yet shared common practices. H-P’s top management set goals, timetables, and performance expectations for a multi-pronged overhaul of its operating model, capital structure, R&D investment, and IT infrastructure. Oracle’s transformation from an amalgam of seventy “little companies” to an integrated, cost-efficient structure was launched with a top-down sense of urgency, coupled with changes in performance incentives to get employees on board. $99.99 [Add to Cart] Produced - 2005

Leaders today face an ever more global, competitive, and dynamic environment. Emerging markets provide growth opportunities, yet demand innovative business models. Jim Bramante distills the findings of IBM’s latest Global CEO Study, based on interviews with one thousand CEOs worldwide, to define the Enterprise of the Future. He points to five strategic trends found in the leaders across industry segments. Top performers hunger for and embrace change rather than react to it. They innovate beyond customer imagination to reach the technologically sophisticated. These leaders seek new ways to organize globally to tap worldwide talent, and they are willing to aggressively attack enterprise and revenue models—even whole industry models. Finally, they demonstrate a genuine concern for customer and corporate social responsibility. $99.99 [Add to Cart] The Change Management Effectiveness Profile provides a detailed process for assessing an individual's capacity to handle minor or major change. This is done by measuring change management ability in several categories.
Richard Roi Todd Pierce At any given time, companies may be juggling as many as ten different change initiatives. The sad reality is that the majority of them will fail as new ideas lead to new projects while the older ones are allowed to languish. And often, it’s large companies with strong corporate cultures that have particular difficulty handling change. Adaptation, done correctly, can lead to increased profits, but it’s important to remember how you got there. A truly adaptive organization values people over technology and respects its employees as both individuals and team members.
Organizations are built for stability, not for change. But in today's highly competitive business environment, organizations must be ready to change—and change frequently. They need to replace long-term planning with a succession of short-term advantages. They must increase their "surface area" with the outside world; drive leadership to lower levels in the company; and reward decision makers for change management as well as results. $99.99 [Add to Cart] This course is also available for online training, see details below.
