Abstract: Sustainable organizational change requires far more than just leadership support. An organization must follow a process that includes involvement and investment from all levels of the organization, identifying, nurturing, and supporting change agents, constant reinforcement and over-communication of efforts, and recognition of progress.  This session will cover change management principles and theory used in transformational change efforts along with practical examples from a certified Change Management Specialist (CMS) who has led major change efforts for public sector clients.
