From Strategy to Bottom-Up Adoption in Times of Change
About This Course
The future of organizations will not depend only on having the right strategy. It will depend on how quickly people across the organization can understand, adopt, learn, and act on that strategy.
This workshop helps managers move from being the people who drive every change to becoming leaders who create the conditions for change to happen across the organization.
Participants will explore how learning can be embedded into daily work, how AI is changing the way people access information and develop capabilities, and how trust, informal influence, and organizational stories can accelerate the adoption of change.
Through practical exercises, reflection, and peer discussion, participants will connect these concepts to real challenges within their own teams and organizations.
In a world of rapid change, growing complexity, and AI-enabled work, managers can no longer be expected to identify every problem, provide every answer, or personally drive every improvement.
The most adaptable organizations create environments where employees are empowered to solve problems, share knowledge, and continuously improve the way work gets done.
This interactive workshop explores how managers can turn strategic priorities into everyday behaviours, learning, and action—without becoming the bottleneck for change.
This workshop is designed for:
- Middle and senior managers
- Team leaders and people managers
- HR and Learning & Development professionals
- Managers responsible for organizational change and transformation
- Professionals leading teams through growth, restructuring, or digital transformation
- Leaders who want to build more autonomous, adaptable, and learning-oriented teams
The workshop is suitable for participants from different industries and organizational environments.
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
- Understand how to move from strategy to everyday adoption and behaviour
- Identify how managers can create the conditions for bottom-up learning and continuous improvement
- Reduce managerial bottlenecks by enabling employees to find solutions and share knowledge
- Understand how AI is changing learning, problem-solving, and access to knowledge
- Recognize the role of trust, informal influencers, and organizational culture in successful change
- Use organizational stories and everyday experiences to support the adoption of new ways of working
- Apply practical approaches to real challenges within their own teams
- Strengthen their teams’ ability to learn, adapt, and act in times of change
The workshop combines:
- Interactive input and discussion
