About this Event
Join the launch event of Kotter Training x Schouten & Nelissen and become one of the first change leaders in Europe!
Did you know that 70% of all organizational changes fail? Even if the strategy was sound?
Change is rarely a matter of willingness. It is a matter of understanding how change truly works: in people, in teams, and in the structure of an organization.
Kotter founder Dr. John Kotter has done 50 years of empirical research into the science of change. His methodology has since become one of the most widely applied change management frameworks in the world.
Schouten & Nelissen and Kotter Training are joining forces to bring Kotter's Science of Change to the European market, combined with 40+ years of leadership and organizational expertise from Schouten & Nelissen.
To kick off this collaboration, we are organizing an exclusive two-day kick-off event in Amsterdam, hosted by the Kotter Master Faculty.
