Canberra members forum: Disruption & Change
Disruption is just another word for change
About this event
Change now comes at a constant incremental pace. Businesses and managers can no longer take a ‘set and forget’ approach, the rate of change within organisations is ever increasing driven by external factors such as the speed of technology and customer expectations.
To enable an organisation to navigate the pace of change, management needs to actively manage its workforce and customer base.
In this session you will learn how to:
- Identify the skill sets you will require in the future
- Look at planned incremental change rather than big ‘one-off’ initiatives
- Develop a plan to move your workforce forward
