The Future of Change Management | Ep 25

In today’s episode of Change Leadership Conversations, we bring you a powerful panel discussion recorded live at the Change Leadership Conference on the future of change management.

I’m joined by Manisha Paliwal, Jason Little, Myles Bartlett, and Rich Batchelor for a rich and thought-provoking conversation on how the role of change leaders is evolving in today’s fast-changing world.

From AI and adaptive organizations to coaching, curiosity, and change enablement, this discussion explores what it means to lead change in an environment shaped by disruption, uncertainty, and accelerating technological advancement.

Together, we unpack how change management is moving beyond traditional frameworks into a more people-centered, enablement-driven, and experimental practice. If you are thinking about the future of your role, your skills, and how to stay relevant as a change leader, this conversation is for you.

We also explore:

• How AI and emerging technologies are reshaping the role of change leaders
• Why curiosity and experimentation are becoming critical future skills
• How VR, empathy, and immersive technologies are influencing change adoption
• Why change leaders must become more agile, people-centered, and collaborative
