Risk Managers play a critical role in managing change across an organization. In this presentation Jake Blersch will provide change management tools and strategies that our members can bring back to their organizations and start using right away. This presentation will blend research-backed strategies with real world examples. The goal of this presentation will be for each of our members to leave with several strategies to make them more confident as a change agent within their organization.
