A Return to the Norm?

As I write this, the meetup over a couple of months away. Who knows what’ll happen by then. Will we return to normal? Will we still be in lockdown? We can speculate, but no one can say they know the answer. Humans are fantastic at filling in holes when faced with unknowns and in a pre-Covid world many change agents would wonder how to make change stick, or why their organizations and clients ‘fall back into the old way’.

But do we ever ‘fall back on the old way?’ Is it even possible to revert to a previous organizational state? All changes, no matter how small elevate us to a new status quo. It might not be the one YOU want as a change agent, but it is different. In this session we’ll look a little deeper into continual evolution and what a ‘return to normal’ might, and might not, look like.

More About Jason Little:
I help organizations discover more effective practices for managing work and people. Sometimes that means plucking tools from the Agile world and sometimes that means using more traditional management practices, such as The Rockefeller Habits.

I am passionate about the people side of change, and focus on bringing meaningful change into organizations that will improve the lives of people.
I have recently released a new book called Lean Change Management: Innovative Practices for Managing Organizational Change (4.8 out of 5 stars with 27 reviews) and also released a video series titled: Agile Transformation – A Guide to Organizational Change on Safari Books Online and InformIT. I’m also a licensed Management 3.0 trainer, Lego Serious Play Facilitator, funder of Happy Melly, and founded the Silicon Halton Agile User Group (which is on hiatus at the moment!) and you can generally find me at local events in the Toronto area.
