Change Is Hard . . . (Until It Isn’t): Overcoming the Eight Great Barriers to Progress
Room


Robert S. Tipton

Change Management Pro

The “Status Quo Sickness,” (just one of the Eight Great Barriers to Progress) is a deadly condition, and it’s infecting groups and individuals in epidemic proportions. Sometimes holding fast to certain things about the past is a good idea, but everyone needs a path FORWARD as well. What are some of the other barriers? “Suffering in Advance” (we just know it won’t work because _______), “The Myth of Consensus” (we can’t move forward until everyone agrees), and “All Things Pass (yeah right, another change effort -- I’ll just wait this one out too). And there are four more!

No question today’s business and IT-related climates are fraught with peril, and fear is rampant and judgment is skewed. Is an event a crisis or an opportunity? Answering this question depends completely on your point of view and state of mind — after all, we see what we’re ready to see... Based upon Robert Tipton’s new book, JUMP! - Get Unstuck, this timely and powerful presentation unlocks the extraordinary power of innovative change. He’ll give you immediate takeaways related to overcoming the Eight Great Barriers to Progress, and will arm you with the details of the JUMP! Innovative Change Model™ toolkit so you’ll be ready to begin creating your own breakthroughs and accelerated performance. Thrive, don’t just survive!
