Upcoming

Live session on October 13, 2026

10:00 a.m. EDT

1 hour

What you’ll learn

  • Understand why traditional change management often fails to reflect change realities

  • Uncover common misconceptions about employee co-creation during change initiatives

  • Identify six practical shifts to better align change mechanisms with employee realities


Research & Development (R&D) organizations are facing unprecedented levels of change, yet many continue to struggle to achieve the outcomes their change initiatives were designed to deliver. Despite decades of investments in change-management methodologies, only one in five organizations achieve their expected change benefits. The missing piece is not another framework, but a better understanding of the realities of change from the perspective of those who feel it the most. 


This webinar will challenge R&D leaders to rethink traditional approaches to change management. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of what enables change to be adopted and sustained and, ultimately, to deliver its intended business outcomes.
