Agile Hamilton: Thrive on Change – Hamilton – 25 July 2019

What

ABOUT THE TALK:
Change management is about paying specific attention to, valuing, and actively addressing the people side of the change. This includes understanding the change, what’s driving it, who’s involved, who’s impacted and how, and the “what’s in it for me” (WIIFM) for different stakeholders.

In this lunchtime talk, Zhi Lee will share his journey about how he learnt the importance of change management, and provide some examples of how you could adopt a change led approach, to make people feel supported and awesome. Katherine Rive will share key success factors for realising and embedding true change, and her experiences ‘at the coal-face’ of change.

Zhi’s most recent role was Scrum Master Chapter Lead at Mercury Energy. Zhi has worked with clients across the digital, logistics, pharmaceutical, manufacturing, energy, agriculture, and retail industries.

As a change consultant with Teamworx, Katherine Rive applies a change lens to support teams bringing about fundamental changes to the way they work.
