Change – the only constant of the past few years – is notoriously difficult to navigate. And for every successful change initiative dreamed up by HR strategists, there are several more that never survived contact with reality. In episode two of series three, Pam Parkes, executive director at Essex County Council for people, service transformation and technology services, shares from her long experience of leading change to show how even the best change strategies can fall apart. Exploring the idea of organisational resistance, she sat down with HR magazine editor Jo Gallacher to discuss how HR can best see change through.
