Change is hard, especially when it comes so fast. AI, increased need for services, generational shifts and more are all simultaneously affecting libraries. How can library leaders both communicate and implement change? How can you shift the culture in your library? What are the barriers between policy and implementation and how can you overcome them? Webinar attendees will leave with some change management ideas and templates they can use to steer their organizations.
This webinar will discuss:
• Change management models and frameworks
• Case studies around change, what to do and not to do
• Communicating from middle management
• Suggestions from being reactive to proactive in change
