Change is always a bit messy

No one expects it to be challenge free. But if you don’t have the support of your people, it’s nearly impossible to realize and sustain organizational transformation.

In this webinar, we explored the learning journeys behind successful organizational change. Our panel, featuring L&D leaders with significant experience of sustained transformation along with expert faculty from Hult International Business School, invited you to look at your organization’s approach to change against real examples, providing practical insight along the way.

As we, at Hult Ashridge, examined different values and approaches that help organizations achieve lasting change, we asked: what role does relational leadership play? How could experiential learning support your strategic objectives? What do your people need from L&D to embrace, lead, and create organizational change?

Ultimately, how do you create a movement of change through learning that lasts?

What you will be able to take away

Empower your leaders to enable change through their relationships


Nurture your people’s sense of ownership to bring them on the change journey


Move people from change rejectors to change agents


Apply proven approaches behind successful transformations – and avoid the pitfalls behind unsuccessful ones


How tailored leadership and organizational development can create a movement of change in your organization
