March 2010 Meeting Announcement
Taking Charge: Action-Oriented Response to Organizational Change.
The next meeting of the Greater Cincinnati ARMA Chapter will be on Tuesday, March 9, 2010.
We are taking a break from our normal center on records management topics, and focusing on a professional topic that may help us with business changes affecting our organizations.
Diane Stegmeier, Founder of Stegmeier Consulting Group will be our March speaker on Taking Charge: Action-Oriented Response to Organizational Change. After a brief introduction, the presentation will consist of an interactive group exercise using colorful props representing factors influencing resistance to change. The program will explore key findings on research exploring such resistance, understanding different responses to change and analyzing change and taking action. I believe all of our membership has been subject to organizational changes and business consolidations that have impacted our work processes, and many of us are attempting to implement our own process changes involving other organizations, so this could be a very informative presentation and learning tool for us all!
Ms. Stegmeier operates a consultancy centered on change management and organizational effectiveness and is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. The business is 100% woman-owned, small business and has been engaged by clients throughout North America and Western Europe seeking to leverage human capital and pursue performance optimization in the workplace.
