How to overcome our 'Immunity to Change'

Helen Sanderson MBE shares a powerful approach for making important changes stick.

About this event

What do you do when you get stuck on a goal you have been working on? Or a team agreement that your team is struggling with? Could it be that your/​their mindset is getting in the way?

In this learning session Helen Sanderson will introduce you to Immunity to Change Maps, for individuals and teams.

The Immunity to Change approach, developed by Harvard’s Robert Kagan and Lisa Lahey, is a way to identify the assumptions, or mindset, that gets in the way of making progress, and how to overturn them. This is crucial for leaders at every level.

Many, if not most of the changes you face today and will face tomorrow will require something more than incorporating new technical skills…these are adaptive challenges’ and can only be met by transforming your mindset.” 

Kegan and Lahey, 2009
