The more things change, the more they stay the same. Change happens all around us and businesses often change – to restructure the organization, to make something new, to improve a process, to adapt to regulations. In a climate where business is rapidly changing for craft breweries, how do we make sure everyone in the brewery adopts the changes and the changes stick? Effective change management provides a process, tools, and approaches to bring about individual transitions that make up overall organizational transformations. We all know change is inevitable. In this seminar, we learn and share techniques for organizing transformation projects, communication approaches, and employee engagement to manage and sustain change in any brewery setting, large or small.
