Presentation Abstract

About the Program:

"Horse Training at Work: The Similarities of Horse Training and Organizational Change Management" 
Horse Training and Organizational Change Management? These topics may seem very different at first, but in fact are very much alike. This presentation outlines those similarities in a thought-provoking and entertaining way. Clear examples will also illustrate that the strategies used in horse training can be used effectively in business. As leaders involved in implementing changes, Project Managers will better understand their roles as change leaders and will be able to apply the same strategies at work to help ensure successful change, regardless of company or industry. To reinforce your learning, a free copy of the book by Jeffrey M. Hiatt titled, "How to Implement Successful Change in Our Personal Lives and Professional Careers" will be provided to each attendee, along with a handout from Prosci Research that outlines the points within the project management process (as documented in the PMBOK®) that involve organizational change management.
 
About the Speaker
Season Tanner is the employee of a Fortune 500 company in Bloomington. This presentation is the result of observations at work where Season began to see some very interesting similarities between her work with horses (a passion outside of work) and her role as a change leader on projects at work. Season's authority for this presentation comes from experience—having applied this theory at work for 8+ years (in various roles) with great success and visible results. She has also been a "student of the horse" since childhood, has completed an undergraduate program in Equine Science, and most important, has been working with and training horses for more than a decade. She lives with her husband and two daughters, five horses, and dog outside of Goodfield, IL on the original Tanner's Orchard farmstead.
