RRLC is offering up to 15 seats at the upcoming LibraryWorks webinar, “Making Changes That Stick”.

Do you want to make a change in your workplace? Whether you are a front-line worker or a senior leader, we can all see opportunities big or small to improve experiences for our colleagues and users. But the dirty secret of organizational change research is this: up to 75% of all change efforts fail. How can you help your idea be among the 25% that do lead to sustainable, ongoing improvements in your library?

As a result of this webinar, you will be able to:
• Understand key models for implementing and evaluating organizational change
• Understand how to effectively collaborate to making change sustainable
• Develop a theory of change that helps you visualize success, spot problems early, and adjust
