This session is designed to show how successful transformations are driven from the resources, metrics and continuous adoption of the change. People are at the root of every successful change, and in this session, you will learn how to engage them, and how even the most resistant person can be brought along the journey. You will also see the metrics needed to manage change, ensure the stickiness of the change, and drive lasting results. In this session you will walk away with key questions to ask about your business transformations including:

• Do your transformations/changes start with the desired outcome?
• Are you clear on what your measures of success will be?
• Do you know what the cost of poor quality is?
• Do you have a clear plan to ensure adherence to the change?
• Is your solution fixing the real problem?

In order to have crisp metrics, ensure your transformation has defined the KPI, ROI, COPQ, and that the data to do the measure exists, you will need to focus on who will create, maintain and review the data, and who is responsible for ensuring adherence to the changes. The human factor is touching every part of your transformation, regardless of how much automation you are implementing. Don’t lose sight of the people and their positive impact. Celebrate your wins. And plan to error proof your transformations. Building the right team, the right change management mindset, and showing the positive effects of potential outcomes - AND THEN showing the ACTUAL outcomes builds a trust so that all the stakeholders will be excited for your current and future projects.

People are at the root of every process, and to ensure a sticky change, what are the key elements needed to ensure compliance, adherence, and understanding across all resources? How can your transformation project ensure that the focus is on the resources – their engagement, ideation, and the right lasting solution.

Join this exciting session to see how you can get the best from your teams and stakeholders so your business transformations are the best in the business.
