Managing Change: How to Achieve Sustainable Succes

Government is modernizing the way it does business, to provide better and faster service to Canadians, as well as integrating and streamlining its internal functions.  All of this requires focus on priorities and to do it more effectively.

The one constant these challenges present is change. Government at all levels must make managing change a key ability in order to remain effective and equip its leaders.

Sharon King, President of Starfield Consulting Limited has employed some fundamental change management principles at various levels of government with positive results.  She will share these principles and her experiences along with the results of a research study with forty public sector leaders, (Managing Change: How to Achieve Sustainable Success), who have successfully managed sustainable change in complex initiatives.

Speakers: Sharon King and Joanne Newman
