.         Are you implementing a new ILS, adding MACs to your PCs, building
a new branch, responding to changing demographics, changing leadership,
implementing a new strategic plan, changing policies, beginning roving
reference ... or ..? 

.         Are you finding living with all this change and leading change
scary, confusing, less fun and more challenging than you thought? 

.         Is your staff anxious and uncomfortable? Are you? 

.         Do you wish that constant change will stop (it won't) and that
there has to be a better way? (Hint: There is.) 

 

This workshop will respond to your questions about change, and provide you
with that "better way" to move the change project forward as well as help
you and library staff not only survive, but thrive. 

 

Workshop Description: This one-day on-ground workshop will dispel many of
the myths about change and provide with you a model to understand and
prepare for both change (at the organization level) and transitions (at the
personal level). 

 

Bring a change project to this workshop and be prepared to work through the
steps that will help you take it from successful start-up through successful
implementation. You will leave the workshop with a plan that you can take
back to work and immediately begin to apply to your library's change
project.
