Keynote 1:   The Science of Organizational Change, Paul Gibbons

Could effecting change in organizations, strategic, operational, technological, or cultural, be more scientific? How much science is there already?  More worryingly, how much pseudoscience exists?  From which domains of inquiry would this science come?

Our opening keynote features Paul Gibbons, author of The Science of Organizational Change and Change Myths.  His opening will cover:

• • • What are the most pervasive and damaging “change myths,” some still taught at the Harvard Business School?
    • How can we use critical thinking to decide which models, tools, and methods we apply in our work?
    • How can behavioral science, neuroscience, and systems science be applied to changing organizations and increase the impact of internal consulting?

    • Effectively integrating external resources into key initiatives

Leveraging Flexible On-Demand Talent for Internal Consulting, Strategy & Project Management Teams

Whether solving critical issues, overseeing transformations or executing new initiatives, internal consulting, strategy and project management teams need to move fast and make smart decisions.  However, being stretched for resources in addition to ongoing expertise and capacity gaps requires the outsourcing of additional talent from project to project, which can be a timely and expensive effort.  The presenters will share details on how teams can leverage flexible on-demand talent to augment their internal teams and bring more value to their projects.
