“We took it in our strides.Change in itself leads to many positive aspects – that leads to retaining a competitive edge and also remaining relevant in your business area. Change encourages innovation, develops skills, develops staff and leads to better business opportunities, and improves staff morale. The first thing we did was to put people first, especially the clients we serve and be flexible as the event topography changes and morphs into something better…
We worked with a change management mindset. …
We empowered our employees through Communication to be open and embrace it as a positive and not a negative aspect of our lives …
We also activated leadership and teamwork to take interest in not just working but knowing more about the industry …
We made Change compelling and exciting for our internal customers which are the backend processes team.
We pay attention to high and low points in momentum. …
And we do not ignore resistance.
We are proactive and most of all attentive to the evolution of the needs of our clients”
