  Title: Rethinking Change Management: From AI-Enabled Change Sentiment to Strategy

  Bio

  Pauline Melnyk

  

  Head of Melnyk Consultancy. Master of Change Management with extensive executive coaching and change leadership experience. Focus: making the human side of change actionable for leaders.

  Tim Morton

  

  Co-Founder, Prompta AI. Change leader with deep experience enabling large-scale transformations and M&A integrations. Focus: using sentiment as a leading indicator and turning insight into action.

  Description

  Traditional change efforts often discover resistance too late—after adoption stalls and rework becomes expensive. In this session, we’ll make AI-enabled change tangible: what it looks like, how “listening at scale” works, and how to turn sentiment into targeted interventions. Expect anonymized examples, practical templates, and a lightweight insight-to-action sprint you can apply immediately. Who it’s for: change practitioners, project/program leaders, HR/OD partners, and people leaders supporting adoption.

  You’ll walk away with

  • A lightweight insight-to-action sprint template you can run inside your existing change plan.
  • A practical workflow for turning open-text sentiment into targeted interventions (and remeasurement).
  • Examples of leading indicators and actions across the change curve (including segmented signals within privacy thresholds.

  Key Learning Objectives

  • Identify four “visibility gaps” that cause change efforts to react late (too late, too small a sample, too generic, too report-heavy).
  • Describe what AI-enabled change looks like in practice (inputs, outputs, workflow).
  • Use sentiment as a leading indicator and translate it into targeted interventions.
  • Run a lightweight “insight-to-action sprint” and remeasure movement to update the change roadmap.

  Title: Too Much Change, Not Enough Capacity: Using AI to Support Real Implementation

  Presenter:  Jennifer Abler, People-Side AI Transformation Consultant, Abler Consulting DTE Energy

  Description:

  Change practitioners are being asked to support more initiatives, move faster, and deliver sustained adoption—often with the same or fewer resources. This session explores how AI can practically support the work of change during implementation, from sense-making and planning to communication and follow-through. Designed for experienced change professionals, the focus is on where AI can act as a capacity multiplier without replacing human judgment, relationships, or context.

  Skill Level: Introductory

  What Participants will Gain from this Session

  Participants will leave with a clearer way to think about applying AI responsibly inside real change efforts as work unfolds.

  Title: Defining the Value of Change Management: Moving from Traditional Change Management Metrics to Business Outcome Impacts with Objectives, Key Results, and Activities (OKRAs)

  Presenter:  Anthony (Tony) Cannon, CEO & Principal Strategy and Performance Partner, Leaning Forward Consulting

  Description:

  This session focuses on redefining how Organizational Change Management (OCM) value is articulated and measured—shifting from activity-based and sentiment-based metrics to demonstrable business outcomes.

  Participants will explore why the value of change management is often misunderstood by leaders, and how Objectives, Key Results, and Activities (OKRAs) provide a common language that bridges change, technology, and business strategy.

  Through practical examples and a detailed use case, the session demonstrates how to translate traditional OCM efforts into measurable outcomes such as customer satisfaction, delivery predictability, and time-to-market.

  The presentation concludes with a structured approach for applying OKRAs directly to change initiatives to strengthen executive alignment and credibility.

  Skill Level: Advanced

  Learning Objectives:

  1. Learn how to link change management objectives directly to enterprise business outcomes using the OKRA framework.

  2. Develop the ability to translate change management metrics into language senior business leaders understand and value.

  3. Apply a repeatable, outcome-driven method to quantify and communicate the impact and ROI of change management initiatives.

  Title: Leveraging Prosci's CLARC Model to Engage and Empower Front-Line Leaders

  Presenter:  Jason Rubsam, Sr. Manager, Organizational Capability, Wabash

  Description:

  Front-line leaders sit at the intersection of strategy and execution, yet they are often engaged too late or underutilized during change initiatives. This webinar explores how Prosci’s CLARC model provides a practical framework for engaging and empowering front-line leaders as active partners in change.

  Participants will examine why early and consistent engagement with front-line leaders is a critical complement to visible and active executive sponsorship—and how strong front-line leadership significantly improves adoption, reduces resistance, and drives sustainable outcomes.

  Designed for change management professionals, this session translates CLARC from a leadership training concept into a practitioner-ready approach that can be embedded into change strategies, plans, and sponsor roadmaps.

  Skill Level: Intermediate

  Learning Objectives:

  • Deepen their understanding of why early and ongoing engagement with front-line leaders is critical to successful change and how it complements visible and active executive sponsorship.
  • Coach and enable front-line leaders to use Prosci’s CLARC model to effectively lead their teams through change, including communication, advocacy, resistance management, and day-to-day support.
  • Translate the CLARC framework from a change management concept into practical guidance, tools, and expectations that front-line leaders can consistently apply during change initiatives.
