Celebrating 20 Years of the Change Management Institute (Wellington, NZ)

This milestone is not just about the years – it’s about the people.

We want to honour and thank the incredible individuals, members, volunteers, and partners who have supported us throughout our journey. Your commitment, energy, and belief in the power of change have made this community what it is today. We truly couldn’t have done it without you.

We’ll reflect on our journey, connect with fellow change professionals, and look ahead to what’s next. Plus, test your knowledge in our “Change Through the Years” quiz, a lighthearted quiz around the word “change”.

Whether you’ve been with us from the beginning or joined along the way, we’d love to celebrate with you.

Let’s raise a glass to 20 years of impact, innovation, and transformation and to the people who made it all possible.

Discover the Futures of Change

Join us for this member-exclusive event as we reveal the insights from our Futures of Change global research initiative; a major study commissioned by the Change Management Institute and guided by Dr. Elissa Farrow.

This innovative initiative set out to explore how change might be conceived, led, experienced, and sustained by 2035. Over 700 participants across sectors and geographies contributed their voices, perspectives, and hopes for the future.

Combined with a deep review of global literature, their input has shaped findings that reflect both lived practice and leading-edge thinking, offering a grounded yet forward-looking view of the futures of change. In this session, you’ll hear:

  • Why this work was commissioned and the approach behind the research
  • The four possible futures and how they reframe thinking about the future of change
  • The five evolving perspectives and what they mean for the practice of change

This event marks the beginning of our journey to share and discuss the Futures of Change findings with our global community.

The role of gossip in managing resistance to change

In this session hosted by the UK’s South Chapter, our guest speaker Carlos Pullen-Ferreira will shine a light on how everyday conversations and gossip shape resistance or momentum in times of change.

From “watercooler moments” to teams messages, gossip can fuel fear and anxiety, or help build trust and connection. Using research, real examples, and practical tips we will…

look at practical coping strategies for leaders and teams.

In a world where AI, technology and process shifts are constant, we will discuss how to harness gossip as a tool for connection, trust and last changing.

Feedback as a Strategic Leadership Tool (Prague, CZ)

Feedback is one of the most powerful tools for both leading change and developing people and teams, it can significantly influence team performance, talent development, and company culture. It also accelerates adaptation during transformation.

By mastering feedback, leaders can turn change from a disruptive event into an ongoing, collaborative process. However, only well-delivered feedback builds trust, supports growth, and strengthens collaboration.

In everyday practice, we often slip into evaluation, criticism, or avoid expressing dissatisfaction altogether and by doing so, we miss the chance to move people and the organization forward.

This highly practical two-hour workshop offers:

  • Practical tips and tools on how to deliver feedback that is clear, respectful, and motivating
  • Practice of real-life situations participants experience at work
  • Discussion of common mistakes and how to overcome them
  • Specific strategies to start building a culture of open and constructive feedback within your company or team – one that increases engagement and supports long-term results

 

The workshop is designed for project managers, HR partners, team leaders, CEOs, and anyone who wants to improve the communication culture in their organization. You will gain concrete techniques you can immediately apply in your leadership to strengthen both trust and results in your teams.
