Most change efforts fail because most change methods are built to deal with single challenges in a nice, neat, linear way. But leaders know that today, pressures for change don’t come at you one at a time; they come all at once. It’s like riding a roller coaster: sudden drops, jarring turns, anxious climbs into the unknown.

Benedictine University and the Goodwin College of Business is proud to host Dr. Bill Pasmore, for the Fall 2023 Contemporary Trends in Change Management Lecture Series, on campus, on Saturday, October 7, 2023.
Drawing on his years of experience, Pasmore offers a four-part model and four mindsets that allow leaders to deal with multiple changes simultaneously without drowning in the churn. This lecture series is in alignment with Pasmore’s book, Leading Continuous Change: Managing Churn in the Real World.

Dr. Pasmore is an internationally-recognized authority an organization development, and a member of the faculty at Columbia University since 2010. His research, teaching and practice focuses on issues related to complex organizational change, leadership development and digital transformation.

As a true scholar-practitioner, Bill has been senior vice president of organizational leadership at the Center for Creative Leadership since 2008. He heads his own consulting firm, Pasmore Advisors, and works with both for profit and not for profit CEOs on change, organization design, and succession planning. He recently received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the OD Network.

We are excited to welcome Bill back to Benedictine – he is a long-time friend, mentor and distinguished visiting scholar to our doctoral program.
