Beyond the Reorg: The Difference Between Change and Transformation

Reorganization is easy. Transformation is not. Using the Farmers Edge to Corvian journey as a case study, this session explores how Human Resources moved from support to strategy—anchoring trust, redesigning the organization, and stewarding culture through prolonged change.

About the Series:
