Designing Schools EP#17 | Managing Grief and Loss in Organizational Change
“People don’t resist change, they resist loss.” This week I invited Bree Groff, Principal at SYPartners, to talk about how to manage grief and loss when it comes to organizational change. Bree is on a mission to help companies not simply endure change, but become skilled at—and find joy in—transformation.
For more than a decade, Bree has focused on transformation, innovation, and organizational design, advising leaders at companies including Calvin Klein, Adobe, Google, Etsy, Microsoft, and Hilton. Previously, Bree was CEO of NOBL Collective, a global organizational design and change consultancy.
In this episode we discuss:
Bree’s six step framework for helping people manage grief and loss
How to think about making career choices during times of change
Why it is important to acknowledge what no longer might exist
How to design change so that is inclusive
How we can design new futures for our organizations and ourselves
