Why attend Navigating Transitions During Disruptive Change?

The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents more than just technological advancement—it's triggering the most profound transformation of work in our lifetime. While most leaders recognize AI's impact on business operations, few truly understand its deeper implications for human skills, roles, and identities. Even fewer have developed systematic approaches for navigating these multi-layered transitions.

This unique learning experience is built around Hal Gregersen and Roger Lehman’s Transitions Curve Framework—based on 650 in-depth case studies of individuals in transition during the past decade. The course helps leaders develop a comprehensive understanding of how AI-driven change affects individuals and organizations at every level. Starting with practical skill transitions—what capabilities to let go of and what new ones to develop—the course moves progressively deeper. You'll explore how changing skill sets reshape professional roles, and how evolving roles transform both professional and personal identities.

Throughout this journey, you'll learn to recognize and productively channel the emotional energy that accompanies such profound changes. By developing a clear sense of purpose and stronger inquiry skills, you'll build the resilience needed to navigate continuous technological disruption while helping others do the same.

The best leaders in our rapidly changing world understand that organizational transformation begins with personal transformation. This program equips you with the frameworks, tools, and insights to lead from this perspective, turning periods of AI-driven transition from potential threats into opportunities for growth and renewal.
