This Leading Transformational Change program distills our four decades of action research in Fortune 500, government and global NGO organizations into ten Best Practice strategies. These strategies represent critical paradigm shifts for many leaders and consultants alike.
Making these leaps in your understanding and capabilities will dramatically up-level your change leadership capabilities whether you’re a corporate, government, community or military leader, social or environmental activist, or a change consultant of any sort.
Research shows that 60-70% of all transformational change efforts fail. Why? Because leaders and change consultants use conventional mindsets, methods and strategies that are partial and insufficient.
Transformational Change is complex and needs a more advanced and robust approach.
This course provides it. You’ll learn what works and doesn’t work in leading transformation.
In this video, co-founders Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson and Dr. Dean Anderson explore what transformational change is and why traditional approaches fail to address it properly.
This video provides an overview of the transformational change strategies you will learn.
The strategies you’ll learn represent the cutting-edge, best practice approach to transformational change.
Five of these are People strategies that maximize leader and stakeholder commitment and engagement and reduce resistance. The remaining five are Change Process strategies that provide detailed how-to guidance for governing, planning, designing and implementing the work required to ensure your success.
Together, these ten strategies will ensure full adoption and sustainment of your desired results.
Upon completing this course, you’ll be able to:
The foundation of this course is Conscious Change Leadership, a leading-edge Field of Study and Practice pioneered by Dr. Dean Anderson and Dr. Linda Ackerman Anderson.
Conscious Change Leadership and Linda’s and Dean’s seminal books on this approach, Beyond Change Management: How to Achieve Breakthrough Results through Conscious Change Leadership and The Change Leader’s Roadmap: How to Navigate Your Organization’s Transformation, have been cited in over 600 academic and business papers and journals.
In this course, you’ll learn about the key strategies of Conscious Change Leadership directly from a pioneer of this innovative field.
Transformational change is unlike any other type of change. It requires leaders to apply these strategies, non-conventional approaches and ways of Being that go far beyond traditional change and project management.
You’ll learn the paradigm shifts essential to seeing what’s missing, effectively leading transformation, and responding to constant change. These paradigm shifts will forever transform the way you think about and lead transformation.
This program will up-level your change leadership capabilities whether you’re a corporate, government, community or military leader, social or environmental activist, or a change consultant of any sort including:
You can enroll as an individual or as a team. We provide exercises for both, with specific guidance that helps teams deepen collective learning and application. Attending with your full change project team is a very wise decision. We highly suggest you participate with your teammates whenever possible so you can apply all your learning immediately to your project.
Come interact, learn and co-create with others like you who are committed to transformational change.
You will engage in 12 live Zoom sessions with Linda, Dean and other senior consultants from Being First’s Global Community of Practice. These sessions contain a wealth of information and resources that will enhance your thinking and deepen your understanding.
In virtual breakout sessions, you’ll expand your insights through continued inquiry and discussion with your peers. You’ll also participate in a private online learning community with fellow cohort members to deepen your learning and co-create together between live sessions.
You will also engage in online exercises in between live sessions to apply your learning to your specific change projects. Plus, you’ll have access to a multitude of online resources to deepen your learning after each live session.
By the end of the course, you’ll know the most critical next steps to take in your transformational change effort.
This guide is for change process leaders who are enrolling or considering enrolling in the LTC with their team.
It includes an Action Guide for how your entire team can benefit from the program, not just those enrolled. It includes a suggested meeting cadence for Sponsors and Team check-ins, debriefs and other ways to maximize your participation before, during and after the program.
