Successfully completing Driving Change will enable learners to:

•             Clearly communicate the business rationale for the change and the benefits it can bring to team members and the organization.

•             Create an environment that is conducive to change in which team members are more readily prepared for change initiatives.

between information to inform our decision-making. We expressly acknowledge some bias,

while we are less perceptive of others. Learn how to surface biases to improve equity and

can have a negative impact, and how to appropriately address situations where it is present.
