Reorgs, strategic shifts, new products. What big change do you see on your horizon this year? The big ones often get the spotlight, but the small ones can be just as important and are the best time to practice leading through change—because we all know a big one will come soon enough. Change is inevitable for startups. Depending on your approach, it can be anxiety-inducing or catalyzing.
Over the course of two days, we will look at change management through the lens of design. We’ll explore how to work with the brain’s natural response to change, encourage desirable cultural shifts, transition teams through significant organizational shifts, and build resilience for yourself and your team.
Registration closed.
