The Future of Change Management: Adapting to the Next Iteration of Work with April Callis-Birchmeier

Are you struggling to influence change within your organization?

In this episode of the HR Mixtape podcast, host Shari Simpson and change management expert April Callis-Birchmeier discuss the primary indicators of effective change management in organizations and the common obstacles faced during implementation. April emphasizes the importance of bringing people along with the change and crafting a relevant, relatable story. She also highlights the evolving field of change management, with a focus on being data-driven and leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) tools.

Key takeaways:

  1. HR professionals should recognize their impact in change management and step into the role of guiding leaders through the change process.
  2. Communication and advanced planning are crucial for successful change implementation.
  3. AI tools, like ChatGPT, can be valuable resources for generating ideas and streamlining tasks, but it's important to vet the output and use it as a starting point rather than copying and pasting.

April authored four books, including the bestsellers "READY, Set, Change! Simplify and Accelerate Organizational Change" and "READY, Set, CCMP™ Exam Prep Guide."
