Introducing SEAT: UW–Madison’s Change Management Framework   (back)
 
Description:
Change is a constant at UW–Madison, and supervisors often play an important role in helping employees understand and navigate what is changing. Whether the change involves a new process, technology, policy, organizational structure, or way of working, how people experience and respond to change can have a significant impact on successful adoption.

Developed collaboratively with campus partners, SEAT (Stage, Engage, Act, Thrive) is UW–Madison’s practical Change Management Framework and Toolkit. In this session, participants will take a closer look at the framework, explore the tools and resources included in the toolkit, and consider how SEAT can help them think through and support the people side of change.

In this interactive session, participants will:
• Explore the four stages of the SEAT Framework and how they can be applied to different types of change.
• Discover practical tools and resources in the Change Management Toolkit that can help leaders and teams navigate the people side of change.
• Consider how SEAT can help them prepare, engage, and support employees through changes affecting their teams.

Presented by Jen Erickson of the Office of Strategic Consulting.
