#141 | Redefining Productivity, Leadership, Change, and Remote Success with Karen Ferris

Agile Ideas

Is the traditional office mandate pushing top talent out the door? This topic is more relevant now than ever. Join us as we engage with Karen Ferris, a Melbourne-based consultant and organizational change management expert who passionately challenges the return-to-office mandate. Karen shares her insights on why focusing on productivity and flexibility always trumps mandatory office attendance. Karen illustrates the significant risks organisations face, including employee dissatisfaction and attrition, when clinging to outdated workplace norms.

Dive deep into the evolving landscape of organizational change management with Karen as we demystify common misconceptions and draw a clear line between project management and change management. Emphasising AI's transformative role and potential for positive change, we discuss the pressing need for leadership to adapt and evolve. We introduce the REMARKABLE leadership traits —as essential qualities for modern leadership.

• 0:00 Organisational Change and Flexible Work
• 13:24 Challenges in Change Management Leadership
• 26:19 Empowering Remote Leadership Skills
• 38:51 Building Resilient Leaders and Workplaces
