Today, as Harvard's John Kotter has pointed out, change is both episodic and continuous. It has to be managed. Yet organisations across the UK, both public and private, have very different levels of success and maturity in delivering true, sustainable benefits from change programmes.

This invitation-only breakfast forum will gather CEOs and other senior private and public sector decision-makers from a range of industries in the UK to discuss the strategic importance of organisational change and the most effective ways to ensure that these initiatives deliver the benefits being sought.

• How can change initiatives be designed from the outset to deliver clear, desired outcomes?
• What is the best way to assure delivery of those benefits during and after implementation?
• Are there specific management tools or change processes that can be replicated across organisations and industries?
• What are the potential barriers to success and how can they be overcome?
• How important is it to establish a structure for benefits realisation management as part of any change initiative?
• What other factors should be taken into account to ensure success?
