Overcoming Resistance: A Leadership Change Management Model for DEI

DEI–diversity, equity, and inclusion–is about changing inequitable systems and thus requires a systems-based change management approach. It’s human nature to resist change, and DEI is often hard to sell throughout a company. This course with DEI expert Mary-Frances Winters highlights established change management approaches and how they can be applied to DEI strategy development and implementation. Mary-Frances starts by answering the question: What is change management? She then dives into the topic you need to know to successfully implement DEI initiatives: integrating change management models, anticipating and addressing resistance, and developing an integrated DEI plan. Join Mary-Frances as she shows leaders and senior managers how to effectively change company culture through traditional change management models—and apply them to DEI.
