Maureen
Sullivan, Organization Development Consultant to Libraries
The
need to transform library organizations is well understood by today's
leaders. The challenge for most is
"how to do it effectively."
The organizational systems, structure, work design, day-to-day
practices, and culture in many libraries continue to be based upon earlier
models. Today's fast paced, digital
world calls for a different workplace, one that is dynamic, flexible, focused
on learning and innovation -- a living system that vales everyone's
contribution.
Maureen
Sullivan will lead this session in which participants will learn about several
strategies and approaches for the transformation of library organizations. She
will provide an introduction to some practical methods for a
"whole-system" approach to this challenge. Topics include:
* Why transformation is important for today's
library organizations
* Models for transformation
* The "whole-system approach" --
structure, systems, people/competencies, and culture
* Involving and engaging staff: Gaining
commitment to change
* Creating an innovative, dynamic and
productive workplace
* Building capacity for future change and
transformation
