Keynote Speaker Change
“From work that changes to change that works.”
From resistance to agile.
We do not live in an era of change, but in a change of era. Adaptability and agility are crucial to remain valuable. However, continuous change proves difficult. The majority of change initiatives do not achieve the desired goal. Why?
Because many organizations, often unconsciously, are geared towards progress instead of advancement. As a Keynote Speaker on change, Arjen Banach shows in his lecture how to build a culture that enables change.

What is change management?
The ‘old-fashioned’ change management, planning and executing top-down change, no longer works in many cases. Why? The world in which we work and live is no longer predictable. While you are making plans, the world is changing rapidly. The art is to create a culture in which employees continuously adapt and learn from their work: a culture of advancement.
Change is often experienced as difficult because the environment is not ready for it. In a culture of progress, every change is a threat to the familiar. In a culture of advancement, change is an opportunity to grow and develop.
Change x Culture of Progress = Resistance
Change x Culture of Advancement = Agile
“In short… if you keep doing what you always did, you get… a little less each time.”
Successful change nowadays arises from:
- Experimenting in small steps
- Improvising instead of controlling
- Deep change in culture, instead of broad change
In his lecture, Arjen, as a Keynote Speaker on change, shows how to break outdated patterns, reduce resistance, and develop a culture in which change does succeed.
