Date/time: Coming soon

CGI moderator: Jeremy Blackwell

Session description: Property organizations are navigating continuous change with new systems, evolving regulations, AI-driven initiatives, shifting workforce dynamics, process improvements and increasing compliance demands. Yet even well-designed initiatives often fall short, not due to the technology or process itself, but because of challenges in gaining adoption.

Attendees will learn practical, people-centered techniques to increase buy-in, reduce resistance, communicate more effectively and sustain long-term adoption. Through audience polling, collaborative discussion and real examples, participants will leave with actionable strategies they can apply immediately within their organizations. Whether you are a property custodian, manager, supervisor or executive leader, this session offers practical tools and insights to help you champion and support successful change.

Key takeaways:

  • Identify five primary causes of failed change adoption in property organizations and explain how each impacts mission, compliance or workforce outcomes
  • Apply at least three actionable change techniques to improve the adoption of new systems, processes or policies
  • Assess your organization’s change readiness using a structured scorecard and identify one actionable improvement they can take back to their teams immediately
