ChangeFirst  specializes in training organisations to Make Change Stick. With a strong developed expertise in change management processes and training,  ChangeFirst produces informative presentations and leads change with an effective mix of face-to-face workshops, webinars, web-based applications and e-learning options.

Participants are encouraged to anonymously complete Changefirst’s Initial Legacy Assessment (ILA) in advance.

The combined results will be interpreted by David Miller and compared to Changefirst’s global data base. The interactive element of the session will spur discussion around change legacy in terms of successes and failures and David will demonstrate how change legacy analysis is key to implementing new changes successfully.

David will also present the results of Changefirst’s data-driven research which is helping project professionals optimise their own change performance on projects by understanding key success factors, critical indicators at different project stages, risks to change success and identifying change breakthroughs.

This research will be supplemented by relevant real-life cases from Changefirst’s experience of developing change professionals in large private and public sector organisations.

The focus on 4 key topics of major relevance to project professionals:

• How they can personally impact on organisational change performance.
• What are the biggest people risks impacting major projects.
• What conditions and capabilities really lead to success.
• How they can develop more effective change management work-streams.

Important! Please complete the Initial Legacy Assessment prior to the webinar. The assessment will take 5-10 minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. The combined assessment results from all participants will be analysed and discussed during this interactive session.

There is a digital transformation underway powered, in part, by the adoption of mobile. In this shifting landscape of increasingly fickle and distracted consumers, maintaining competitive advantage is more important than ever.

Competitive positioning is a relative art, defined differently for every business. But what’s absolute is the science of digital customer experience and human behavior.

• A 500 millisecond delay results in significant user frustration
• A 250 millisecond difference in user experience between competitors is all it takes to create advantage (or loss)

The reality is that faster pages drive higher engagement, but getting there takes comparative vigilance and constant feedback to development and digital teams.

So what signals should you watch to stay ahead? How can you create meaningful comparisons to other web and mobile experiences? Tune in for ideas you can use to out-maneuver your digital competitors with front-end performance intelligence, like:

• Comparative page construction analysis
• Objectively evaluating feature performance
• How to benchmark third-party component performance
• A/B testing dev and prod
• Understanding geographic differences
