Disruptive change is messy. How do you handle the impact of implementing fast-paced technologies and ensure disruptive change is sustainable over the long haul? 

Join us for a panel discussion and complimentary breakfast at Tech Week 2019. Local industry leaders along with Centric’s Change and Process experts will discuss the latest in industry research, and the tools needed to address the impact of digital disruption.


What You Will Learn

This event will address the tools and considerations needed to address some of today’s most pressing issues.

  • What happens when roles and responsibilities change overnight? What are the leadership considerations to align how people are impacted within the context of new processes?
  • What happens when robotic process automation (RPA) changes previously manual tasks to automated ones?
  • Machine Learning has changed the dynamics of data analysis and business intelligence. How does this impact job performance measures, training, and organizational alignment? (E.g., 80/20 with data analysis and BI – 80% collecting/cleaning data; 20% analyzing problem. This should/could now change.
  • Does the scope of traditional change management activities need to expand to include how individual performance and job descriptions need to change to account for technical disruption?
  • How to manage change when the pace of technology disruptions outpaces the ability of humans to adapt to the change?
  • What are the strategies leaders pursue to ensure their teams are "right-skilled"?
  • What do high-performing organizations do to ensure disruptive change is sustainable over the long haul?
  • How do companies proactively disrupt themselves before having to react to a competitor's disruption?
