Activating Change Management

There is no better way to learn the concepts of change management than through the use of ‘the race to the south pole’ and “SWITCH” by Dan & Chip Heath.

At Operation Explore, we have been using the epic story of “the Race to the South Pole” for over a decade. It is such a compelling story that our clients really love. This year we have stepped it up a notch and designed it around change management using: “Switch - how to change things when things are hard”. This is one of our most dog eared books on change management. We worked with one of our colleagues, Roger Woodgate, from England (a talented learning architect). We have created a card set and application of Switch Concepts that are very accessible. Participants walk out of the session with a new toolkit and perspective on managing change as well as the application of the tools for themselves in the workplace.

“Every day some new fact comes to light -
some new obstacle which threatens the gravest obstruction.
I suppose this is the reason which makes the game so well worth playing.”

“Adventure is just bad planning”

“Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all.”
-Ernest Shackleton
