Participant perspectives
There is a major difference between announcing a change initiative and making it actually happen.
People are not generally resistant to change, but they are resistant to losses.
When something seems clear to us, it's easy to forget it might be difficult for others to grasp. That’s the curse of knowledge.
How I approach change will certainly change – in my own work and with my team.
If there's one constant in life - it's definitely change.
Change has never been more present in my life than right now. With all the ongoing challenges around the globe, I'm glad that I spent these three days at ESMT Berlin to deep dive into this topic. A diverse group of people from different cultures and nationalities sharing insights about their perspectives is definitely an eye-opening moment.
