Apogy

Hello, and goodbye (for now!) Instagram and Facebook friends!

We have made the executive decision to stop posting content on IG and FB in 2023. While we love these platforms, we've determined that 99% of our audience engagement occurs elsewhere, for many reasons!

So, if you would like to stay up to date on all things Apogy, please consider following us on LinkedIn, subscribe to our YouTube channel, or sign up to receive our monthly newsletter. Links in bio!

#2023

The first step in preparing for organizational change is to prepare yourself for the transition.

Creating a pros and cons list is one way to kickstart the change planning process on a more personal level. Not only can it surface "hidden" concerns and possibilities, but it also helps to develop empathy for your fellow humans (aka stakeholders), which can influence your change management strategy and approach.

If you lead a team, a pros and cons list can be a useful tool for overcoming perceived barriers and bottlenecks that may be holding people back from adopting and sustaining the new behaviors and norms.

Have you tried using a pros and cons list before? If so, how did it go?

Apogy is pleased to welcome Jennifer Thompson, Principal Consultant at ViTL Solutions, to the Change Leader Speaker Series!

In this informative conversation, Jen and Apogy founder Jessica Crow discuss the importance of learning and how developing skills in “adjacent” practices can increase your effectiveness as a leader of people, projects, and organizational change.

Highlights from the conversation include: the parallels between project and change management; the importance of written and verbal communication; her thoughts on whether change management should be a standalone function or integrated within teams; and the one thing she wishes all change managers would do to help the c-suite understand the value of change management.
