WHAT'S NEW:   Change management skills for leaders are more important in today’s environment as executives must strategically address the structural changes that are occurring within and across the business with a new level of thinking. They need to be able to identify where change matters most. Seizing the opportunities that change presents and using them as a source of market advantage, while overcoming any natural resistance to change, is often an executive’s greatest challenge. In fact, 66% of change initiatives fail. Changing the Way We Change outlines an action-learning approach to change and transition coaching. Download your copy here or go to the article published by Human Capital here.   Australian Talent Connection is a new forum for executives, partners and directors with accountability for talent management, leadership, careers and diversity to connect and share ideas.

Distinguishing characteristics of successful organisations are exceptional leadership and the capacity to generate ongoing ‘banks’ of intellectual capital. High-potential diverse talent represents one of the greatest sources of current and potential value for a business. Ambitious people also want to find new ways to be relevant and competent.
