CTC will highlight the view that correctional modernisation is ripe with successful implementation of projects and initiatives. These positive representations will embolden us to pursue change even more aggressively. The reality is a little more subtle. We all know the statistics around benefit realisation of driving change, generally they are fraught with risk and under realised results, Gartner Research states only one third of change initiatives succeed. Can we expect better outcomes and change behaviours in the correctional space?

We will engage the audience as to whether our community shares the perspective that the corrections sector needs to embrace a nuanced approach to change. Explore whether research and evidence-based approaches be extended to change management. Begin to lay the groundwork of a change program unique to corrections that will empower transformative leaders looking to take steps to manage the risk and maximise results.
