Program
SYDNEY & LONDON 11-12 November 2015
This is a conference with a very big twist. This is not a ‘sit back and listen’ event. This is an event where you can be involved with developing and publishing new thinking in change and ‘How Change is Changing’.
Looking for something that takes you to the next level of change management capability?
Be a part of something very different, be a part of the new wave of change management thinking.
Learn how you can build your skills to provide a real competitive advantage.

Go beyond questions
On Day 1 our internationally renowned speakers will take us through the new normal, as they help us to explore the shifts all businesses have to make to stay alive!

Set the agenda
On Day 2 we will be opening the floor up to the delegates to create a range of different forums to explore and work through our response as a change community.

LEAD FUTURE THINKING
