And conflicts in today’s organizations\, in which people are expected to change so quickly\, are even more common. Unfortunately\, often conflict in organizations is avoided or swept under the rug. Occasionally\, a conflict becomes so large that it threatens to rip apart a team\, create an unpleasant working environment\, or reduce productivity. \nBut it doesn’t have to be destructive. Within conflict\, there is often very important information seeking expression. A change leader’s ability to allow that information to emerge and successfully navigate through conflict is the gateway to the success of teams\, change initiatives\, and organizations. \nIn this interactive session\, participants gain exposure to and experience with a technique that they can use with groups facing conflict. Participants will learn how to use the technique to help people talk respectfully and productively about conflict. \nMaya Townsend\nFounder / Lead Consultant\, Partnering Resources \n\nMaya Townsend\, founder and lead consultant at Partnering Resources\, helps individuals\, teams\, and organizations thrive in our networked world.

Our theme for the upcoming IABC World Conference\, 11-14 June 2017\, is GLOBAL BUSINESS: Lead Communication\, Make Real Impact. \nIn this presentation\, learn why large-scale change is notoriously difficult to achieve. Well-designed\, seamlessly executed change communications are a critical driver. However\, it’s difficult to send consistent messages and maintain momentum over the long haul. Luckily\, organizations have a hidden asset that can be used to support change. \n\nEvery organization consists of webs of relationships: connections people instinctively create in order to solve problems\, share information\, and get things done. Five to fifteen percent of these people are Critical Connectors—people with disproportionate influence over the whole. Once communication professionals identify Critical Connectors\, they can position them and engage with them in ways that can streamline activity and accelerate communication throughout the whole organization. This workshop will introduce participants to network analysis and help participants understand how they can start leveraging Critical Connectors today. \nIn this session\, you’ll learn:[unordered_list style=”bullet”] \n\n5–15% of people in any network have disproportionate influence.\nCritical Connectors include SMEs\, influencers\, informal leaders\, and communicators.\nBy tapping Critical Connectors\, communications professionals can streamline change communication.\nHow one company used network analysis to develop targeted\, resource-efficient communications.\n\n[/unordered_list] \nJoin us in Washington\, DC for this engaging\, participatory workshop!

People instinctively form relationships on every job in order to solve problems\, imagine new approaches\, make decisions\, access expertise\, and complete daily work. These relationships comprise organizational networks\, powerful but often overlooked vehicles for change. \nIn this presentation at the 2017 Association of Change Management Professionals conference\, participants will learn how network knowledge can help accelerate success and build support for change. We will discuss how thoughtful use of Critical Connectors—the 5 – 15% of individuals who have disproportionate influence over the network as a whole—can help change management professionals populate teams\, build social support\, and integrate respected change advocates into the organization. \nWe will discuss three case studies. The presenter will share how a large city agency used networks to identify influencers and how Bayer CropScience used networks to prioritize change leadership agendas. Then participants will engage in their choice of two case studies and explore how they would use network information to support change management in their chosen situation. We will close with Q&A and discussion of next steps. \nMissed the session? Check out the ACMP Next Frontier Slides.

It can feel like an isolated problem\, but there are larger forces affecting the influx and recruitment of talent in the nonprofit sector. Ecosystem mapping offers a way to see the whole system and find leverage points for change. It’s an easy-to-learn\, participatory method of building a holistic picture of a system that can then be used for analysis and discovery. In this workshop\, participants learn the basics of ecosystem mapping and apply the method in order to understand the challenges affecting talent in the nonprofit sector. Through an experiential activity\, we will explore the nonprofit talent ecosystem and gain new insights into potential levers to pull in order to affect change. \nFor conference information\, see: \nhttp://massnonprofitnet.org/training-and-events/annual-conference/ URL:https://partneringresources.com/event/nonprofit-talent-ecosystem-at-mnn-2016/ LOCATION:Framingham Sheraton\, 1657 Worcester Rd\, Framingham\, MA\, 01701 CATEGORIES:Conference END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20161009T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20161009T163000 DTSTAMP:20260416T183039 CREATED:20160428T181400Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160503T180821Z UID:4524-1476025200-1476030600@partneringresources.com SUMMARY:Navigating Global Complexity: How Bayer Used Organization Network Analysis to Build a Connected\, Collaborative Organization DESCRIPTION:Complexity is increasing. Leaders struggle to bring alignment and focus among the intricate interconnections\, profound diversity\, and local demands pulling on staff around the globe. Organizations require new tools to realize the true benefits of globalization\, collaboration\, and shared resources. \nOne such tool is organization network analysis (ONA). Based on a case study with a client seeking to become a global organization\, this session will help OD practitioners understand how what it takes to become an effective networked leader and manage the complexity of dispersed individuals and teams. Through experiential activities designed to encourage network thinking\, participants will rethink how leaders design\, shape\, and nurture talent within a global network. \nSpecifically\, participants will learn: \n\nThe value of using ONA to build connection and collaboration across global organizations.\nHow to increase organizations’ potential to recognize those actually doing the work well\, not just those who fit cultural expectations and who have leadership exposure.\nThrough a case study\, demonstrate how leaders can transform from transactional leaders to networked leaders in a global organization.\nHow network maps can be used to help coach leaders and better engage virtual team members.\n\nPresented with Kittie Watson of Innolect\, Inc. and Lisa Coen\, former public affairs leader at Bayer CropScience.

You can’t tackle these alone. At Build’s high-impact\, day-long event you will huddle with fellow leaders of middle market companies for an insider perspective on challenges … and road-tested solutions. Expect unparalleled networking\, highly interactive sessions\, key actionable takeaways\, and an afternoon cocktail party! \nMaya Townsend of Partnering Resources will present on Six Strategies for Making Change Stick (HINT: Connections Matter!): \nChallenge: To get better\, we have to evolve — but only 38% of leaders say their change efforts have actually improved performance. Why is it so tough to win buy-in and make change stick? \nSolution: Change by dictum doesn’t work. The only thing that does: connections\, and lots of them. Studies show that effective change makers simultaneously employ these six strategies for building the individual\, social\, and structural connections that make transformation excite — and\, therefore\, take hold within — an organization.

Project Managers need to understand them well in order to write requirements\, design solutions\, and make improvements. Yet\, rapidly changing\, exception-based\, complex processes stymie traditional process mapping efforts. The Value Network Analysis (VNA) methodology is well suited to showing how processes produce value. Sometimes considered the ideal process mapping tool for the complexity era\, VNA excels at identifying and analyzing non-linear\, dynamic processes. VNA also effectively maps business ecosystems: a dynamic structure of interconnected organizations that depend on each other for mutual survival. \nIn this workshop\, featured at the 2013 Professional Development Day sponsored by the Project Management Institute Massachusetts Bay Chapter\, participants will learn: \n\nWhy processes should be thought of as networks\nThe gaps and challenges with traditional business process mapping\nHow VNA methodology can help simplify and enrich business process improvement\nThe basic components of a VNA map\nIdeas to enhance future process improvement and mapping efforts\n\nUPDATE: This session will be presented by Partnering Resources Associate Cheryl Coonahan.

We learn about the types of networks that typically form in organizations\, the critical connectors that act as key influencers\, and practical methods for leveraging networks. We develop plans for using network knowledge to improve succession planning and talent development. After the workshop\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand the difference between social networking and organizational networks\nUnderstand the types of networks that typically form in organizations and the three critical roles in networks\nUnderstand how the 3 critical roles can help HR professionals identify and develop more effective and accurate succession and development programs\nUnderstand how companies have used network analysis to develop the workforce\nDevelop plans to apply network knowledge to current and upcoming human capital development and succession planning initiatives\n\nAll in all\,HR leaders will gain the ability to use networks that already exist to dramatically improve succession and talent management initiatives.

And the project success rates (coming in on time\, within budget\, and to scope) are lower than anyone would like. Clearly\, there’s room for improvement. In this engaging\, participatory session\, participants learn what it takes to provide successful change leadership. Specifically\, we will discuss: \n\nThe one method that makes a change initiative 10 times more likely to succeed.\nThe six ways of creating change in organizations.\nHow leaders can use the six ways to help create change.\nHow leaders can choose the best fit for their projects or initiatives. Participants will leave with new ideas\, tips and techniques\, and an action plan for becoming more effective change leaders.\n\nJoin us at the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Annual Leadership Conference on November 9\, 2012 in Orlando\, FL! \nSlides Posted!\nThanks for all who attended the session and thanks for the kudos. Two people wrote that it was “the best session of the conference.” Wow — thank you! \n\n  \n  \n  \n
