Description:

Do you think it’s possible to introduce so much change that organizational goals, employee satisfaction, and service to customers will be negatively impacted if the company doesn’t slow down?

We did too. That is until over the course of two years, everything changed at Avnet:

• New CEO & Executive Team

• Divesture of 40% of our business

• Acquired 3 companies

• Launched a new brand

• Changed our go to market strategy

• Moved to NASDQ

• Launched our Transformation Initiative (over 450 new projects)

• Moved from regional to centralized decision making

• Reorganized our operating model & support team strategy

If you’ve ever felt like raising the “Change Saturation” flag, this session is for you!

Carla will share how to lead change when everything is changing, strategies for developing leaders to be effective stewards of change, and tips for raising change agility in a global organization.

She will also provide a candid glimpse into their personal struggles in leading changes that would rock their organization, and how leading a global transformation led to the realization that change saturation is a myth.
