“The only constant is change”

The goals of “Act On It”

It’s obvious; today, the pace of change is overwhelming. If organizations are to survive in a constantly changing marketplace, adapting immediately to change becomes a business imperative. But human beings, and the organizations they work in, naturally resist change.

New live drama...ACT ON IT

In 2001, working in partnership with Lee Hecht Harrison and Ability Corp, we developed an eye-opening awareness program on change called “Act On It.” “Act On It” is set in a hi-tech corporation undergoing constant change. Everyone is hunkered down in their silos, blaming each other for miscommunication, missed opportunities and deadlines, and high turnover of senior staff. But take heart: since the topic is somewhat depressing, we decided to make “Act On It” a rollicking comedy. It’s been consistently called “the funniest show in our repertoire.” And the “perfect antidote to what ails you about change.”

As always, our expert facilitator debriefs the show focusing on the issues of your choice. Then the actors return to the stage “in character,” to respond to questions and comments from the audience; a session some have likened to the Jerry Springer Show without the foul language or throwing of chairs. This program has been used by The Titan Corp, SAIC, QUALCOMM and Ericsson among many others.

1. Demonstrate how change can undermine even the best of companies
2. Stimulate a powerful dialogue on the kinds of change your company is experiencing
3. Spark new ideas and strategies for adapting to change in your organization.
