Leading Change

Our Pathway to Change series kicked off this month with a robust and engaging discussion around culture transformation. We were honored to have Anne from  Anne Massaro Consulting & Facilitation  - a leadership coach and organizational change and effectiveness strategist - lead this month's event around (1) culture transformation work in support of organizational changes, (2) when and why culture may need to shift and (3) tips for successfully transforming culture. Below are some of our top ah-ha's and insights from the session. We encourage you to view the replay and slides  available for our members on our Ohio Chapter library on ACMP Connect for the full discussion and valuable resources (it's definitely worth your time!).  Not a member?

It has been a full year since the work arrangements as we knew them were abruptly disrupted.  And in that year, most people have adapted in ways that worked for them. They are no longer the same people with the same habits as they were before the pandemic. People have evolved and become comfortable with their new arrangements. We would be naive to think that everyone wants to go back to the "previous normal." We would also be naive to believe everyone will want the same "new normal." These are ways that people's views and experiences with work may have changed over the last year: People may like the way their personal and work life boundaries have blended, and may not welcome rigid work hours again. People may be accustomed to lower work-related expenses such as gas, parking, bus fare, lunches, day care, business clothes! For some people, shelter in place may have led to relocation and they may want to stay remote in their new place. For some, mental health issu

How long have you been in the Change Management Profession? In the formal sense, I have been an OCM consultant for nearly two years. However, my career over the past 12 years has always involved some role functions and work that aligned very closely to OCM activities – thus my switch into the official role two years ago.

It has made me a more well-rounded professional. What made you decide to join ACMP Ohio? I wanted to get involved with a local community of OCM professionals who I can learn from and, through volunteer work, help continue to build an impactful OCM presence here in Ohio!
