2024 October NDC Learning Hub - DEI Change Management

This workshop demonstrates how to leverage the eight-step process for leading change popularized by Harvard professor Dr. John Kotter to deliver DEI change for organizations. We will overlay the change management framework with information from DEI specific texts. We will also utilize research from the Society of Human Resource Management, as many of the processes that we will seek to impact in the workshop are Human Resources processes. We will pause the presentation after each of the eight steps so that attendees can fill in the action plan worksheet that will be distributed to them at the beginning of the session. All attendees will leave with a completed DEI change management action plan. As participants: ● You will illustrate the nuances of advocating for DEI progress in the current business climate where many DEI efforts are under attack. ● You will discuss strategies for influencing employees at all levels of their organization, regardless of the change agent’s level of positional power. ● You will help all attendees create a DEI change management action plan specific to their organization.
