This webinar includes one live session with Q&A and the on-demand recording; 1 bonus resource; and a certificate.
Whether rolling out a new system or delivering a high-stakes event, administrative professionals sit at the center of change. This session blends practical change management (stakeholder mapping, readiness assessments, communications waves, adoption metrics) with event project management (critical path, vendor RACI, risk watchlists, and day-of run-of-show). You’ll learn how to move teams from awareness to adoption, handle resistance, and run events like a program—on time, on budget, and on brand. We’ll model templates, run mini-exercises, and pressure-test plans against common risks.
In this session, you will learn how to:
- Build a change plan: readiness, stakeholders, comms, and adoption KPIs.
- Design an event critical path with dependencies and risk triggers.
- Create a run-of-show and decision tree for “day-of” escalation.
- Conduct post-implementation/event retrospectives to drive continuous improvement.
Who Will Benefit?
This presentation will benefit mid- to senior-level Executive Assistants (including EAs supporting directors, VPs, and C-suite leaders) who operate at the center of organizational change and are responsible for driving adoption, coordinating stakeholders, and delivering complex, high-visibility initiatives and events with precision.
Level of Difficulty/Prerequisites:
Participants should have a basic understanding of their EA role, including experience coordinating meetings, stakeholders, or events; no formal project or change management training is required. Foundational skills such as organization, communication, and problem-solving will be helpful. No software installation is needed—templates and exercises will be shared using common tools (e.g., Word, Excel, or Google Docs).
