Organisational change is challenging-to say the least! Unfortunately, most change activities fail to deliver anticipated results and those that do often fail to sustain. Lynn will share a new way of thinking about change, characterised by a questioning process that creates a customised approach for each  specific change. This approach is called Change Questions. The Change Questions unlock the secrets of sustainable organisational change by showing how to ask vital questions in five critical areas. 

Lynn will offer practical examples from her experience as a transformative leader and will candidly describe what to do in tough, real world business situations. Attendees will receive access to a free, downloadable copy of the Change Questions digital workbook, for use in their own organisations.
