Register and join us for an Interactive session with real world examples of transformation missteps and successes.
Event Description:
Change initiatives in regulated industries often fail not because of poor intent, but because of training overload, unclear role impacts, and leadership behaviors that stop at go-live. In this interactive AGXPE session, participants will explore a practical, human-centered approach to change management that balances compliance with real-world adoption. Attendees will leave with tools, templates, and strategies they can immediately apply to improve change outcomes across Quality, Regulatory, and operational teams.
