President's Message | February 2023

Hello, ACMP Ohio Members!

Because of you, your Ohio Chapter is continuing to grow and mature. In 2023, we will continue to work with you to Educate, Support and Connect members in Ohio and adjacent states, reinforcing ACMP Global events and resources and bringing our chapter together locally.

If you didn’t already know, Ohio is rich with change management talent and with firms that support our efforts. We are always looking for new ideas to add value for our members, so please be sure to share your thoughts! Simply email us at info@acmpohio.org.

Below are several things we are working through for you in 2023. 

Educate

In addition to our monthly educational programming sessions and CCMP Quick Connects, we are working with our generous sponsors to bring us the latest in change management acumen and proven and evolving best practices. 

And, now that things have opened a bit, we are also looking into helping students learn more about our craft across the state.

Support

You can look forward to a new look and feel with our web resources this year as our communication team is working diligently to provide an intuitive one-stop experience for members and others in our communities and networks. 

This year we are also testing a model to work directly with organizations to support their change management professionals internally. 

And we're looking to leverage the growing number of experts in our state that are more than happy to guide and mentor others on their change management career journeys.

Connect

We are receiving feedback that many people are ready to connect in-person, while others may not yet be ready. Of course, we want to connect with everyone and will continue to engage with people however we can. We will be exploring how best to host hybrid events, connecting in local communities and providing live online access. 

Lastly, we have always been known as a friendly, social organization, so we will be looking for opportunities to get more involved within our communities, with our supporting organizations and with our terrific sponsors.


There is much to do. You have a top-notch board of directors and a group of volunteers who are here to move the needle for our change community. We appreciate your continued involvement, your awesome ideas and the passion that you have to help many through change.

We are honored to serve you!

Applying the Change Curve to "Return to the Workplace"

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
