Session Title

5 Universals of Change

Abstract

Jason has spent the greater part of the last 7 years traveling the world and asking change agents of all disciplines in countless organizations why the changes they were working on were getting stuck, and how they were jiggling them loose.

We live in a world where we’re in a rush to create yet another best practice method in order to magically fix our transformations. It turns out we’ve known the answer all along, and it sure isn’t about the process, method or framework we follow.

In this session, Jason will share the patterns, philosophies and stories he has collected that will help us see change and transformation through a different set of lenses so we can focus on what matters.

Bio

Jason began his career as a web developer when Cold Fusion roamed the earth. Over the following years, he moved into management, Agile Coaching and consulting. The bumps and bruises collected along the way brought him to the realization that helping organizations adopt Agile practices was less about the practices, and all about change.

In 2008 he attended an experiential learning conference about how people experience change and since then, he’s been writing, and speaking, all over the world about helping organizations discover more effective practices for managing organizational change. He is the author of Lean Change Management and an international speaker who has spoken all over the world from Canada, the US, Finland, Germany, Australia, Belgium and more.
