About The Workshop

This workshop will be run by Tendayi Viki, author of Pirates In The Navy. Tendayi has over a decade of experience working inside large companies, helping leaders and teams bring their innovative and transformative ideas to life.

Tendayi will share lessons on how to overcome the challenges of creating momentum and buy-in for organizational change. He will show you how to bridge the gap between how your organization plans change and how people experience it. 

 

If you are driving change in your organization, you will face challenges like: 

  • Lack of alignment with key functions 
  • Resistance from skeptical stakeholders
  • Inconsistent support from senior leaders
  • Employees struggling with change fatigue  
  • Lack of trust or legitimacy for your initiative
  • Teams fearful about the impact of the change

Here’s the truth: 

Getting buy-in isn’t about pushing people to comply with your ideas or endorse changes they don’t really believe in. 

It’s about getting people to willingly support and actively participate in your initiative. 

This is exactly what this in-house workshop will help you achieve.
