Jesse Freese (Fissure), Change Management - Leading People through the TransitionSeptember 3, 2009 Twin-SPIN We have reserved parking at the Washington Avenue Ramp! Meeting Announcement: EE/CS Building
Directions: A map is available at http://onestop.umn.edu/Maps/EE/CSci/ This Month's Meeting: Program Manager: Jesse Freese - Fissure Topic: "Change Management - Leading People Through the Transition" Speaker: Jesse Freese - Fissure Abstract: Can you become a better change management leader - helping teams through change and transition with less resistance - consistently? What do you need to know to lead a team through a major change - and the associated transition? People go through five phases as a result of a major change – do you know what you can do to facilitate this process? Do you know what leadership techniques to use in each phase? This presentation defines change and transition and looks closely at each of the five stages of one of the most widely accepted transition models. After explaining the model we will use an interactive exercise to identify leadership actions to help people move more quickly through each stage. Lastly, we will look at what the “experts” recommend for leadership actions in each stage. Speaker Bio: Jesse Freese is well known for his interactive presentations on the topics of project management, leadership and change management. He has presented at the Project Management Institute (PMI) national symposium, PMI Chapter symposium, and PMI Chapter meeting levels. Many of Jesse’s presentations include audience participation and deal not only with the “hard” side of project management, but also with the “soft” side. All of his presentations include “real-life” stories that are relevant and entertaining. For the past 19 years Jesse has been a partner with Fissure Corporation.
