Change Management Position

Hi. Bill Ringle, here.

After serving as the Apple manager for Worldwide Training,
I've worked with senior managers across multiple industries to:

Assess needs, develop and deliver custom training to fill knowledge-skill gaps so that the team could take advantage of market opportunities and optimize operations.
Trained managers in tools, systems, and thinking frameworks to get out of overwhelm and reduce anxiety so that they could lead their departments and teams more effectively
Clarify the organization's needs, discover the strengths of the management teams and departments, and propose and align the resources to get the most value from the productivity and satisfaction for both the client and the people it served.

An Introduction to Change Management and OD Consultant Bill Ringle

What Makes Traditional Change Management and OD Assignments Challenging?

The initiator of the change is often not responsible for the performing the change.
Imperfect scope.
Change is threatening.

Agile Change Management is an Approach that Makes Change Initiatives More Bite-Sized and Digestible.

Instead of a single change initiative that is risky and expensive, and often poorly defined, take on well-defined changes in iterative stages.
Build familiarity, confidence, trust, and momentum as you develop new skills and work processes among the team, department, or division.
As each sprint is completed, you have tangible results to show for the effort.
Participants take more ownership for the change outcomes even if they did not initiate the process.
Nothing de-risks a significant initiative like observable progress.

You're looking for an Organizational Change Management consultant to join the ICF Team, right?

This will be terrific! I have the skills and experiences you've called out on this description and I like the complex challenges and big opportunities that ICF takes on as a trusted partner for its clients.

For this position and perhaps others, I'm available to meet in Reston periodically to check in with ICF colleagues or meet with the client for presentations or other work.
