  • fostering culture change
  • handling regular IT changes (upgrades, etc)

What are they doing?

  • Coffee with the CIO allows people to come, have coffee, express concerns
  • Enables discussion, identifies challenges/opportunities

Workshop activities
  • Storytelling, brainstorming, activities
  • What is the nature of transition? Manual for change and transition, changes in workplace, challenges and opportunities
  • What do I bring/carry with me no matter what the change?
  • Stories compel us to listen, engage us emotionally, make people think
