GRIST e-Newsletter - September 2023
Welcome to the September edition of our newsletter! This month we're diving into leadership development, change management, learning, and much more :)
In this issue, we take you on a journey through the innovative leadership development program implemented by VicRoads and GRIST, which resulted in enhanced leader confidence and remarkable performance outcomes. Discover how we approach change management differently to keep pace with the ever-evolving landscape and prevent change fatigue.
Plus, get a glimpse into our recent experiences at the Learning and Development Festival and James Clear's 'Atomic Habits' event. We also invite you to join us for our upcoming Consulting Skills Masterclass led by GRIST MD, Peter Grist.
Stay tuned for insights, best practices, and exciting developments in the field of leadership and organisational transformation.
Building leaders of the future at VicRoads
VicRoads along with GRIST implemented a leadership development program with the objectives of assessing current leadership capabilities, reinforcing leadership fundamentals, sharing best practices, and equipping leaders with tools to enhance performance.
The program resulted in elevated leader confidence and capability, broke down silos, improved coaching practices, and achieved remarkable performance outcomes.
Dive into the journey of enhancing leadership fundamentals and fostering a unified organisational culture and explore the impressive engagement statistics that showcase the program's impact here.
Looking for a new approach to change? This is how we do it
We know that the rate of change is increasing. Updates to technology, ways of working, regulation and customer preferences are all leaping ahead across all industries. To keep up with change and mitigate change fatigue, we need to reimagine the way we think about and manage change.
If you leverage your leadership activities and operating rhythm effectively, you can build an agile, innovative, learning culture that will allow your organisation to thrive through any change.
After many years of designing and delivering change management strategies and seeing what works (and what doesn’t) for our clients, GRIST’s change process is the same approach we have to learning and development.
Learning and Development Festival wrap
Last week GRIST Directors, David and Caitlin, had the absolute joy of attending and presenting at the Learning and Development Festival!
Held over three days in the Metaverse, the festival was an incredible mix of new learning techniques and technology, how to better evaluate and demonstrate ROI on learning, and how to lift learning and development up as a strategic priority.
A HUGE shout-out to Lindsey Leigh Hobson at The Learning & Development Collective who did such an incredible job of coordinating, running and hosting the festival.
Our session was all about perfecting your stakeholder engagement. We're running a full-scale consulting skills program next year, specifically geared towards to L&D professionals; see more info and register your place here.
James Clear ‘Atomic Habits’ event
Over three days of speaking events in Auckland, Melbourne and Sydney, the GRIST team hosted some of our clients at James Clear’s Atomic Habits tour.
The principles of Atomic Habits closely align with our micro-behavioural approach, and we saw this as a fantastic opportunity to get a more in-depth understanding of Clear’s methodologies and open a discussion with our partners on how we can all use the principles of habit formation when we’re designing behavioural change interventions across an organisation.
Thanks to everyone who came - we had a terrific time and definitely walked away buzzing with a ton of new ideas and insights!
Here's a round up of the day and the key principles Clear spoke to.
Consulting Skills Masterclass
This month we’re interrupting our normal coaching programming to talk stakeholder management: how L&D can improve their consulting skills to better influence stakeholder on the value and importance of learning.
Join GRIST MD, Peter Grist and the GRIST team to hear how you can improve your consulting skills as a learning professional to improve the strategic outcomes for your organisation.
