Organizational change is accelerating at a pace that many argue makes traditional change management frameworks obsolete. At a macro level, organizations are grappling with nonstop transformation, collapsing planning cycles, and unpredictable operating models driven by technology capability leaps. More specifically, this raises contentious debates around whether structured change methods still matter when roles are being redesigned in real time, resistance is constant, and leadership struggles to keep up. This panel challenges whether established frameworks are still fit for purpose, or if they need redesigning.
• Challenge the relevance of classic change frameworks by testing them against real-world transformation failures and successes
• Reframe adoption strategies by debating whether "managing change" should become "surviving continuous disruption"
• Confront leadership assumptions by examining who actually controls change in AI-enabled organizations
