The Skill That Matters Most: Change Management

Change is constant in cardiovascular care, but successfully leading transformation across complex systems remains a critical and often underdeveloped skill. This session will explore a real-world change initiative within a cardiovascular service line, highlighting the conditions that prompted the need for transformation and the challenges encountered along the way. Attendees will learn practical change management strategies used to engage multidisciplinary stakeholders, navigate resistance, and drive meaningful improvement. Drawing on peer-led experiences, the session will provide actionable insights and lessons learned that participants can apply to their own cardiovascular service line initiatives.
