Sustainable Change for the Frontline - Episode #118 - Jennifer Martindale & Stacy Gibbons

This week on the Frontline Innovators we have two guests! ✌

Jennifer Martindale is the Director of Organizational Change Management at J.R. Simplot Company. She helps people move forward through transformation management strategies that create buy-in, transition mindsets, change cultures, challenge assumptions, improve processes, and implement solutions that stick.

Stacy Gibbons is a clinical licensed mental health counselor who brings a great perspective on the people side of change and how to stay curious with their response.

Quote: "It's about preparing for change. If folks are not prepared for change, then you get to deal with the negative consequences. You don't get to opt out of that. You don't get to say, you know what, we are too busy."

Key Takeaways:

➖ One size fits all approach does not work for OCM

➖ Your leaders need to have the right tools to support the frontline

➖ Understand the change trigger the frontline is facing

➖ OCM is all about preparing folks for sustainable change

➖ Communicate to the frontline that the tech will improve their job not take it away
