An Evening with Fred Miller
Fred Miller
This training will be conducted live via Zoom.
In his latest co-authored book; Dialogic OD in Action; Fred Miller, Monica Biggs, and Judith Katz share their experience using “change champions” for cultural transformation, rapidly changing the core narratives in an organization that shifts day-to-day conversations, actions, decisions in positive directions and organization performance. For over five decades, the authors of this powerful new book have helped organizations, large and small, transform their cultures to be more inclusive and made leveraging diversity a strength.
Organizational questions and challenges as we move through this next period of the 21st century -
1. Are we getting close to when the wall of the silos will finally fall so that organizations have more flow?
2. The evolution of the “suits”…The “Organization Man”. What is needed from leaders today and in the future to enable organizations to get different? Is it finally time for leaders to be leaders of people where the people are their main focus?
3. How many more decades are we going to be talking about diversity and leveraging that diversity as a goal that we have yet to achieve?
4. How do you maintain the “glue” that is needed for individual, team, and organization high
performance in a time when there is increased polarization, cancel culture, working from home, and hybrid work?
5. How do we make cultural change happen faster?
