The Nova Scotia Provincial Library will be hosting the OLA Audio
Conference "People WILL Change: Transforming Organizational
Culture".  This is part of the Strategic Conversations with Leaders
Series.  Instructors: Jane Watkins, Chief Librarian, North Vancouver
City Library and Francine Carlin, Principal, Performance Partnership.

In this sixty minute session Jane Watkins and Francine Carlin who
facilitates leadership and team programs for public libraries across
British Columbia, share how North Vancouver City Library made the
transition from a dated, task-focused library organization to a
vision-directed, dynamic, customer-focused library ready for the future.
Their experience goes beyond change management workshops to the
leadership demanded to shift from "blaming and complaining" and "we vs.
they" to working together positively.  The program will take a practical
look at engaging people in any type of change and provide realistic ways
of acknowledging, valuing and dealing with issues relating to changing
the way things are done. This will be of interest to anyone working in a
library, or any organization or company, who knows that change is a
reality.

Key Topics Explored During the Session:
- The situation as it was
- The changes made to the library's physical and staffing structures
- The marketing
- Why none of this really made the changes needed
- Addressing the culture shock
- Building trust and truly making change
