COHRA - Organizational Change Management - Extended Session

Are you ready to unlock the secret to successful organizational change? Whether you're navigating sweeping transformations or tackling smaller shifts, one truth remains: change is a journey, not a destination. Join Donny Greenawalt in this interactive two-hour workshop designed specifically for HR professionals who want to drive impactful and lasting change within their organizations.

In today’s fast-paced business world, organizations face constant pressure to evolve, innovate, and adapt. Yet, even the best initiatives can fall flat without an intentional approach to managing the people side of change. That’s where change management comes in—and the ADKAR® Model can be your go-to roadmap for success.

What You’ll Gain:

• The Case for Change Management: Understand why change management matters, how it drives organizational success, and the crucial role HR plays in helping people embrace change.
• The Power of ADKAR®: Explore the five building blocks of Prosci's ADKAR® Model—Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, and Reinforcement—and see how it simplifies the complex process of managing change.
• From Theory to Application: Roll up your sleeves and apply the ADKAR® Model to real-world scenarios through engaging tabletop breakout activities. Work alongside peers to identify gaps, build strategies, and leave with actionable insights tailored to your organization.

Why Attend:

• Gain confidence in navigating change within your organization.
• Learn how to leverage the ADKAR® Model to overcome resistance and build momentum.
• Leave with tools you can immediately apply to current or upcoming changes in your workplace.

Donny brings his expertise and enthusiasm to guide you through this hands-on session. With a practical approach and a dash of Southern charm, he’ll show you that no change is too big or small when you trust ADKAR, y'all!

Speaker Bio:

Donny is a proud dad of four energetic boys and a happy husband to Caitlin, a fellow HR professional. When he’s not wrangling his boys, you can find him elbow deep in soil tending his fruit and veggie garden. Although it cuts into his gardening habit, he enjoys teaching Strategic HR Management in OU’s Price College of Business. His full-time gig is leading the Organizational Change Management function at American Fidelity, but here's a little secret - while he’s known as "the change guy" at work, he sometimes catches himself resisting change at home, especially when it comes to his boys growing up! If you need advice on how to balance work and family, or want to nerd out about gardening, he’s here to lend an ear (or a green thumb!)
