CiderCon Encore: Driving Organizational Change
February 11, 2021 – 9:30 am Pacific Time
Likely, you checked the Math to make sure your facility move, new software system, or acquisition was going to make or save your business money. Organizational changes can look good on paper but fail to deliver on the promise of increased profits or savings if the people impacts aren’t considered and managed. For your initiative to work, you’ll likely need some combination of employees, customers and suppliers to stop doing something and start doing something else. In this presentation by Stephanie Hartman of Catalyst Consulting, you will get a blend of academic theory and practical tools for addressing the tactical and emotional aspects of organizational change.

CiderCon Encore: Avoiding Common Pitfalls of Business Maturity
February 18, 2021 – 9:30 am Pacific Time
Working with small business owners across many industries, Stephanie Hartman of Catalyst Consulting learned about their ambitions and the fears at the root of their missteps. Through these stories, she began to recognize common pitfalls at each phase of business maturity. For those who did not get help soon enough, the pitfalls either ended their business, or the business survived at the cost of the owner’s well-being or important relationships. Those who took necessary steps, restored balance in their lives and found new inspiration. Business thriving requires courage to look honestly at your contribution to the chaos and make tough decisions, about processes, people, and more. In this presentation, you will learn actionable tips to help you avoid the common pitfalls or escape them if you’re already there, giving you confidence about your next steps.
