OD Workshop - Impossible is Temporary: Overcoming Barriers to Change
Bud Caddell
Join us on April 15 from 6-8 PM PT for an interactive webinar led by Bud Caddell, Founder of NOBL Collective and a leader in organizational transformation and change.
Organizational change is, simply and stubbornly, individual behavior change coordinated at scale. So of course trying to do new things and taking advantage of new opportunities is inevitably met with resistance or even outright objection. Much of this is natural, but while many of us get excited about the idea itself we also need to prepare ourselves and our partners for the most common barriers we will face, whether we're just getting a new change started or we're trying to spread it beyond a single success or team. This workshop will explore those barriers and arm you with tactics to successfully make a change or transformation with your teams or departments.
We’ll also directly address the role of office politics in shaping change (influencing and persuading those with more power), and how feelings of ick or discomfort can be and have to be addressed to see transformation through.
Format/Activities:
- An introduction to the 25 most-common barriers to change
- Breakout rooms to discuss those barriers and compare experiences (with share out from volunteers)
- A tee-up about OD/HR’s role in supporting change, particularly influencing and persuading those in power; then breakout room discussions and sharing
- Closing remarks and summation
Learning Objectives:
- Increase your awareness and literacy of the most common barriers to change
- Diagnose and triage a barrier you or others you support could be encountering right now
- Learn strategies specifically to wield greater influence and persuasion (aka office politics) as a partner in change
About Your Facilitator

Bud grew up obsessed with technology, even serving as the Head of Technology at a venture-funded startup while attending high school. After years of helping the Fortune 500 develop innovative new products and services, Bud came to a realization: organizations don't suffer from a lack of ideas, they suffer from cultures and ways of working that kill innovative ideas. He started NOBL to help organizations respond to a world of increasing change by fusing the disciplines of organizational development, change management, systems thinking, and complexity science together.
His work has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and AdAge. Bud was named “one of the most creative people under 30” by Business Insider, and The Guardian named him as one of ten strategists to watch.
