This talk is for people who are leading transformations in their company and are struggling to increase momentum. Start advancing your transformation tomorrow with these tips. Adam uses nearly two decades of observed transformation mistakes and the countermeasures used to breakthrough organizational politics and stalling.

Leadership is always the number one failure mode of transformation but there are nuances underneath that can be major contributors. I rescope issues based on the authority of the highest leader fully bought in. I've gathered the top issues I've found leading transformations internally and as a consultant. Each topic will have examples, symptoms, characteristics and how to address them. Many of my points might surprise or even shock some attendees as they go against conventional wisdom. The post-pandemic landscape has rewritten many of the rules of how transformations are done.

I will share learnings that help companies proceed with the new challenges. I will bring examples from a vast variety of industries as well as different stages of transformation. I will discuss leadership turnover and employee engagement, as well as monitoring success. A few examples of factors include:

1.Top Key Strategies

2.Leaders Expectation of Staff

3.Role of Incentives

4.Visual Management

5.What Antibodies Do

This is half of the list I have complied and discussion will extend beyond these five. Transformational leaders and practitioners can expect to walk away with a list of things to avoid and a list of things that work. These will augment existing transformations and help set the stage for upcoming ones. If possible, I would like the ability to answer a few live questions from the audience during the session. Attendees gain valuable information from the informal discussion during a short Q&A session.
