The presentation covered three core parts of the book:

• Part One: “The Underpinning Theory” – Mr. Manikandan take the participants to a deep dive into diverse frameworks and approaches on how to manage change effectively.
• Part Two: “The Applications” – in this area, Mr. Manikandan gave an overview of the practical guidance, real-life examples, and useful strategies for handling various change scenarios.
• Part Three: “Emerging Inquiries” – which is a reflection on the evolving nature of change and methods to manage it in today’s complex environments.

What made the session interesting were the interactive activities for individual and team change, encouraging the attendees to think, discuss, and contribute their own perspectives. The open conversation, allowed everyone to connect theoretical insights with practical academic experiences.
