Do you find it ironic working in IT where everything we do is about enabling a business to change, yet our natural skillsets mean that we are often poor change agents? We're good at using our left-brain, analytical, logic-based thinking to analyse, design, deliver and maintain systems and technology, but generally poor at the right-brain, creative, emotion-based thinking required for helping people through the change.

Today, the tech increasingly gets done by cloud providers, managed service providers and outsourced to (commonly international) dev shops. So, increasingly we need IT professionals to understand and advise on the tech, but more importantly be proficient in working with commercial suppliers and excellent at helping the business transition through the changes that tech enables.

In this lunchtime presentation, Kirsten Eriksen, Senior Consultant with Equinox IT, proposes that IT professionals need to evolve to add real value to their businesses. Kirsten will explore a range of approaches, sourced from Agile, Lean, Neuroscience, Organisational Development and Change Management practices to give you new tools to become a 'human-centered' change agent.

The main learning objectives are:
> Understand how the human brain reacts to and assimilates change
> Understand how beliefs are formed in humans
> Develop an understanding of several change management techniques
> Where to go for more in depth understanding
