June News from Insights

Greetings!

The days are still getting longer and the weather is feeling more like summer every day. Pretty soon the kids will be out of school and many folks will be taking time to enjoy the season.

Members of the Insights Canada team are adjusting to new roles and responsibilities as we come together into one business unit and find ways to support each other and our customers right across the country. We're in the process of fine-tuning some of the ways we serve our customers and clients with an eye to creating stronger relationships and greater efficiencies. We've got some two-day professional development sessions planned for later this month that will result in some temporary office closures - details below.

We're also putting the finishing touches on upcoming Insights Discovery Accreditations sessions, Practitioner Renewals and other learning events, so watch this space for more details.

In the meantime, we invite you to take five and catch up on the latest news and information from Insights Learning and Development Canada.

Temporary Office Closures

The Insights offices in Calgary and Vancouver will be closed June 19 and 20 while team members attend a two-day professional development workshop. The Toronto and Atlantic offices will be closed June 24 and 25 for their learning experience. We’ll be checking our emails during the sessions but if you have an urgent matter and need to contact us by phone, reach out to our other o ffices.

For June 19 and 20, our Toronto office will be available at 1-905-738-8444. For June 24 and 25, phone support is available at 1-604-522-4229.

Don't take a chance on change management

Change is no longer an event that happens to people, teams or organizations – it’s a constant state of being. Neither is it a process than can be managed, rather it’s something that is happening to most of us, most of the time.

Studies show that employee readiness is a critical driver of change success. So if your people aren't agile and constantly ready to adapt, your change initiatives will fail. Finding innovative solutions to old problems is key to business success in the 21st century – so much so that many organizations exist in a state of continuous transformation, just to stay relevant.

By focusing on agility and adaptability, we help people, teams and leaders get ready for whatever changes are coming next - and changes are definitely coming. To learn more, contact your nearest Insights office or speak with your client manager.
