This month
The topic this month is: People Before Process: Unlocking Sustainable Change
Change is one of the biggest challenges organisations face today – but too often, it fails not because of strategy, but because people are forgotten.
In this interactive session, Becca will introduce the P.E.O.P.L.E. Change Model, a practical, people-centred approach to making change stick:
- Purpose – Clarify the why and connect emotionally
- Engage – Actively listen and involve people early
- Ownership – Enable leaders and teams to take responsibility
- Playback – Reflect, test, and refine based on feedback
- Lead – Equip leaders to model new behaviours
- Embed – Build habits, rituals, and systems that sustain change
Together, we’ll explore:
- Why some organisational changes succeed while others fail
- The common barriers to change (fatigue, leadership disconnect, lack of voice)
- Real-world case studies from sectors including housing, healthcare, and humanitarian work
- How HR and People teams can become the anchor of culture-led transformation
Through group discussion, case studies, and a hands-on People Readiness Diagnostic, you’ll reflect on your own organisation’s readiness for change and leave with practical tools to strengthen your impact.
