Keynote by Speaker Mitchell Lee Marks: Navigating Organizational Change and Transition
Change and transition have always enveloped workplaces and their people. This presentation
examines how some people not only survive during disruptive times but actually thrive in ways
like improving their personal performance, team work and overall organizational effectiveness.
It provides insight into the stages people go through in dealing with change and transition and
practical tools for both minimizing the downside consequences and maximizing the upside
opportunities. These opportunities include both short-term benefits like maintaining
productivity and focus and long-term benefits like enhancing career development and
contributing to a desired organizational culture. This session presents both the “science” of
workplace change and the practical “application” of tools and techniques for managing change
and transition in the workplace. It features colorful stories of how individuals have used these
tools during change and transition to enhance both their personal situations and their overall
organizational dynamics.
