Successful change isn't just about strategies—it's about people. The McKinsey Influence Model of Leading Change offers a unique, research-backed approach that differentiates itself from other change leadership frameworks by focusing on what truly drives behavioral transformation. Unlike models that emphasize only top-down mandates or process-driven change, this framework balances "walking the talk" with "talking the walk"—ensuring that leaders not only model desired behaviors but also create an environment where change is systematically reinforced.
At the heart of this model are the Four Building Blocks of Change:
✅ Fostering Understanding and Conviction – Ensuring individuals grasp the "why" behind change and commit to it.
✅ Reinforcing with Formal Mechanisms – Aligning processes, incentives, and structures to sustain change.
✅ Developing Talent and Skills – Equipping employees with the necessary capabilities to embrace transformation.
✅ Role Modeling Leadership Behavior – Leaders actively demonstrating the behaviors they wish to see in others.
Unlike conventional change models that often overlook leadership empowerment, the Influence Model highlights why most change programs fail: the absence of engaged, empowered leaders who inspire action. This workshop is designed for executives, senior managers, HR professionals, and change agents who need to lead transformation, drive sustainable cultural shifts, and embed change into organizational DNA.
Through interactive group activities, participants will not only deepen their understanding of the model but also develop real-world application skills to navigate challenges, avoid common pitfalls, and sustain momentum.
Change leadership isn't just about having a vision—it's about influencing people to bring that vision to life. This workshop will equip you with the tools to become a transformational leader who drives lasting, meaningful change.
