L&D professionals are responsible for driving workplace behavior change—but many don’t realize that this makes them key players in organizational change initiatives. Whether rolling out new processes, upskilling employees, or shifting workplace culture, L&D is often tasked with helping people adopt new ways of thinking and working. Yet, most L&D teams focus only on training, without considering the broader change management strategies that determine whether those efforts succeed or fail.
This session provides an objective comparison of widely used change management models, including Kotter’s 8-Step Process, Prosci’s ADKAR Model, Lewin’s Change Management Model, and others. You’ll learn the core principles, strengths, and limitations of each approach, how they compare, and when each is most effective. By understanding these models, L&D professionals can better align their efforts with organizational strategy, anticipate resistance, and design learning solutions that truly support lasting behavior change.
Whether you’re leading learning programs tied to transformation efforts or simply want to improve training effectiveness, this session will give you a clear, structured overview of change management theory—so you can drive learning that actually sticks.
