Discover how safety professionals can bridge the gap between 'Change Management' and 'Management of Change' (MOC). Join industry leaders as they explore key differences, practical applications, and strategies to align safety initiatives with organizational goals for lasting impact.
This webinar was originally broadcast on February 27, 2025.
It is clear the safety profession has a noble history of providing value from compliance to culture and from assessing risk to continual improvement. It is also no secret that many safety professionals have struggled to better understand how to prioritize, communicate and implement their important ideas in a way consistent with their organizations and industry. Understanding the differences and application between broadly understood organizational practices such as 'Change Management' alongside similar terms we see in the safety profession such as 'Management of Change' (MOC) is a developmental tool for any safety practitioner.
This engaging and entertaining discussion is led by industry leaders from both a Change Management as well as a Safety Professional background, and will cover three unique but complementary differences between their two perspectives::
Change Management
What is it as a practice, its use and a case study
Why this discussion? And, why now?
The Fit and Function of Management of Change (MOC) within the change process
Alignment and integration within a Safety Management System approach
Evolving Expectation
Building Bridges: How these two disciplines work together
Alignment: Consensus Standards, the Regulators, and Organizational Value
