Pecha Kucha Presentation: "The Poker Face of Change: What a Game of Skill and Luck Can Teach Us About Change" When we think about change, we often focus on the big picture - creating a shared vision and developing capable sponsors. But sometimes change effectiveness is about who's around the table and what they're willing to risk. Somebody at the table who doesn't know the game but has a big chip pile can be more dangerous than a masterful player. The table talk can be far less informative than the "tells". Can you stack the deck in your favor? Key Takeaways: Developing stakeholder risk and resource profiles How to read and interpret non-verbal behavior The importance of aligned incentives Creating high-impact involvement plans
