During Hurricane Sandy, back in October 2012, many people said they felt like “everything was changing”. In fact, although there was significant disruption, not everything was changing, as many “anchors” remained firmly in place after the storm passed.
Similarly, even when it seems otherwise, not everything is changing in the workplace – but perception overshadows truth. Because organizational anchors do their work beneath the surface most of the time, it’s easy to lose sight of these anchors during change.
Knowing your organization’s anchors – which ones are remaining stable and which ones are changing – can help you plan and communicate change and reduce the sense of disruption that change management initiatives create. Because anchors are known, they can even help create a sense of stability during change, a calm port in the eye of the storm.
Join us for this exciting webinar where you will discover:
- Examples of different types of organizational anchors, and how these vary depending on the organization itself
