What… More Change? How HR Can Take a Leading Role in Organizational Change
Change is a business reality – new leadership, technology innovation, regulatory changes, M&A, reorganizations and cost reductions are among the common drivers of change in today's business environment. Regardless of the reason, change initiatives are often met with resistance and fail to realize the intended business benefits because of ineffective change management practices.
This program is aimed at HR executives, line leaders and line HR professionals (generalists, talent acquisition & development, L&D, etc.) who want to become more effective in driving strategic change implementation. Our focus is on Life Science companies – big and small - and the typical challenges they face. There will be a facilitated interactive breakout session in which participants can share their experience, learn from colleagues in the industry, and take best practices back to their companies.
Why participate? Change models and tools have advanced, providing a “technology for change” that change leaders need to know and be able to apply. Change leadership has become an “expected” leadership capability and critical for thriving in our rapidly changing environments. Everyone in HR can take a leadership role – attend this workshop and learn more about how you can contribute!

Agenda:
Christine and Angela will provide an overview of a two year global initiative she led at Amgen to drive greater coordination, communication and alignment between global and regional teams. Christine and her colleagues used a two-pronged approach - one workstream focused on gaining activity/deliverable alignment, while the other clarified the remit and interactions across two regional teams to better connect with their global counterparts. The team and roles component provided significant complexity, given the change management dilemmas of bringing greater empowerment without undermining existing teams, roles and structures.
