Speaker and Topic: Karen Golden-Biddle, Professor of Organizational Behavior at Boston University School of Management, “Excavating the Everyday Work of Change”.
We hear a lot about major transformation, jolts and the large scale efforts associated with organizational change, But much of the essential work in changing organizations, that which takes place everyday in micro-level situations, has remained invisible. In this session, researcher and author Karen Golden-Biddle will present and give us an opportunity to excavate this everyday work of change, based on the findings of a 5 year study in real time of people implementing system change in the health sector.
