“Change is no longer something organisations manage between periods of stability. Increasingly, change is the operating environment.”
– Sam Ryker, The Change Factor
LinkedIn Event: Open Discussion – Leading Through Continuous Change in Community Housing
Date: Thursday, 20 August
Time: 12:00pm – 12:30pm (AEST)
Format: 30-Minute Executive Discussion (Live LinkedIn Event)
Event Objective
Community Housing Providers are being asked to deliver more housing, improve services, respond to regulatory change, adopt new technology and meet rising tenant expectations.
Funding and strategy are critical. But ultimately, organisations and their people have to deliver the change.
This session explores how leaders can build the organisational capability to manage continuous change while maintaining engagement, performance and momentum.
Session Overview
For many CHPs, change is no longer a standalone project.
Growth, new developments, regulatory reform, workforce pressures, new systems, AI and changing tenant expectations are creating multiple, overlapping demands for change.
The challenge is not simply deciding what needs to change. It is ensuring the organisation has the capacity to make it happen.
Sam Ryker from The Change Factor and Andrew Olsen from Donnabrook will explore what happens between strategy and successful delivery — and why people are so often the critical ingredient.
Topics we’ll cover
- Turning strategy into successful delivery
- Leading when change becomes continuous
- Recognising and managing change fatigue
- Creating genuine engagement and ownership
- Building organisational capacity to support growth
And one bigger question:
If funding is only one constraint on delivering more affordable housing, how much does organisational capacity for change influence what the sector can actually deliver?
