Our topic for discussion

Selling Internal Change

At our last breakfast, while discussing activating change, we discovered that many of us struggle to sell internal change, especially at an executive level. It can also be particularly challenging when the shift that we want to make doesn’t have an obvious financial ROI.

Noon is currently grappling with this issue right now, and has experienced it in previous roles. She’s agreed to kick-off a discussion at our next breakfast by sharing some of these experiences and their potential solutions.

We think it’s going to be a great discussion!

Before we meet…

We’d love it if you could come to the session with some perspectives to share and questions to ask.

A few which have been on our minds are around the role of culture and values in implementing change. In what way must your strategy for selling change adapt to your company’s culture? Is internal change usually driven by regulation or by a drive for advancement? How can you soothe uncertainties and concerns that stakeholders may have?

Consider what strategies have worked for you in the past and what you think should be done differently.

Pattern

The Changemakers’ Breakfast Series

The Breakfast Series is an enjoyable way for our friends and specialists to mix with each other and build relationships over time.

There are no formal speeches or presentations from us. Instead we’ll invite someone from our network to kick-off a discussion topic, which prompts sharing across the group.

Come and enjoy the breakfast, connect with peers and leave having learnt something new and extended your professional network.
