How will you benefit

During the webinar, you will discuss how to manage change as a continuous process of managing a portfolio of multiple, overlapping change initiatives. As it is a difficult process to manage, you will focus only on the most important elements: analyzing and understanding the factors that influence the organization (political direction, scope and performance of the organization, government’s fiscal and economic situation, the staff’s skills, rules, processes and procedures); developing a master strategy and overall approach to the change; and understanding the different players in the process. You will be encouraged to share their experiences.

By the end of the webinar we will have:

• Discussed change management in the context of restructuring processes and procedures at tax administrations.
• Discussed the factors and challenges that influence the implementation of changes.
• Debate resistance to change.
• Shared real cases from Irish revenue and Dutch Tax administration
• Exchanged experiences.
