Change Management

Change Management – Round Table Discussions

Organisational transformation is meant to place a company, even a stable and solid one, on the right market position,  keeping in mind the perspective of assuring organisational sustainability.

Business development cannot happen without change – the kind of change that is inspiring, conscious and owned by the company decision makers.

The working group has monthly meetings where specific elements are being brought to the table and addressed in a practical manner.

Should you be interested in learning how to stay on top of change, please contact us, and receive an invitation to one of the future working group meetings.
