Leading transformation is no longer optional—especially in the current context of Workforce Adjustment and the Compensation Expenditure Review. The Think Tank Series on Transformation (TTsT) is a 90-minute interactive session designed for members of the National Managers’ Community, leaders, executives and employees to navigate disruption with empathy and purpose. Developed by certified practitioners from the Interdepartmental Organizational Change Network (IOCN), the session connects theory to real workplace realities and focuses on how transitions are experienced by people.

 

Participants explore three core modules: individual transition and adaptation, team dynamics, and practical management frameworks, including the Government of Canada’s Framework for Leading Change and Prosci. The session highlights what individuals and leaders can control, how to anticipate emotional reactions during uncertainty, and how small, practical actions can support meaningful transformation.
