About this Presentation

Business, the sciences, organizations, societies and individuals are embedded and invested in norms, rules, regulations and controls that are valid and needed if for no other reason that anarchy cannot be an option. History is full of both great and disappointing lessons of new discoveries having great difficulty in gaining acceptance, even when the results have been demonstrated, without dispute. There are many instances where the rules are applied broadly in ways never intended. There are many instances in which the original reasons for the rules no longer exist, yet these rules are firmly embedded in behavior, policies and even laws. This session will demonstrate the thinking that is required of the change agent to bring their targeted audience on the journey that will include BUILDING A BRIDGE OF UNDERSTANDING so that one can feel safe on their journey to acceptance.
