Technology Change Management Seminar, 11th November 2011

Experiential Seminar for Technologists and Business Managers to be held at The Park Hotel, BangaloreDigitization of business has ushered in innovative business models, business processes, and organizational structures. Not all companies, however, have been able to successfully cross the chasm between the old and the new paradigms. A big reason why many companies fall by the wayside, despite their intent to adopt new technologies, is the lack of understanding of the dynamics of change inside the organization.

Technologists and Managers, who have the vision to embrace technology-enabled changes, often fail to communicate the need for the change, build a coalition of managers to support the change, demonstrate signs of early successes and more importantly, build the momentum required to sustain the change. The Technology Change Management seminar is designed to empower them with practical techniques to deal with challenges of change management.

Packed with case studies, real-world examples and action learning through Change Quest, a software simulation, the Technology Change Management seminar equips technologists and managers with the skills to manage technology change.

Change Quest Simulation

Change Quest is a team-based simulation where the objective is to introduce a massive transformation in a traditional company within a time period of 120 simulated days. The idea is to influence and convince the top managers of the company to adopt the change initiative by applying tactics that have the right content, context and timing. Each tactic has a cost in terms of days.

Participant Mix

The Technology Change Management seminar is designed for technologists, managers, and consultants to become proficient in the art and science of introducing technology changes in organizations. Technology Change Management seminar is being currently delivered at Cognizant, IIFT Delhi, SP Jain Center of Management Singapore and Dubai.
