The Art of Influence: How Leaders Drive Change | Practical Workshop
From AI transformation to M&A integration, what does it take to turn strategic change into business results? As organizations navigate AI adoption, mergers and acquisitions, and evolving business models, even the strongest strategies can fall short without effective change leadership. Success requires aligning stakeholders, navigating resistance, and building the buy-in needed to execute change. Join the Kellogg People Strategy Club for The Art of Influence: How Leaders Drive Change, an interactive, hands-on workshop with Dr. Terrence Roche. Through practical frameworks, stakeholder mapping, and small-group exercises, you'll explore how leaders build support for organizational change, navigate competing priorities, and connect people and organizational decisions to business outcomes. Whether you're pursuing consulting, strategy, general management, or people leadership, you'll gain practical tools to approach complex organizational challenges. Dr. Terrence Roche brings over 20 years of executive leadership experience across business strategy, operations, and organizational transformation. He previously served as Senior Vice President of Strategy & Operations at Kellen Company, where he led enterprise strategy and post-acquisition integration, and as Vice President of Professional Services at Start Early, where he scaled workforce solutions nationwide. Today, he is a Lecturer in Learning & Organizational Change at Northwestern University and Founder of Green Rock Innovation, combining academic expertise with hands-on experience leading organizational change. -

Join us for informal conversations with faculty who teach and research topics related to people, leadership, and organizations. These lunches are a great opportunity to connect with professors in a casual setting, learn more about their courses and research, and hear their perspectives on emerging trends in the field. For this lunch, come enjoy an engaging conversation with Professor LT Zhang! Space is limited to keep the discussion intimate and interactive. ---------- LT Zhang is an Associate Professor of Management & Organizations at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management, where he teaches "Leading at Scale: Power, Design, and Influence in Organizations."

Professor Zhang is affiliated with Northwestern’s Center for Economic History and the Northwestern Institute on Complex Systems.
