 
        From Theory to Practice: Strategies for Effective Change Management Presented by Madison Fox and Mitchell Thompson
As presented at HBMA's 2025 Fall Conference October 6th-8th, 2025.
In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, effectively navigating and leading through change is critical to your long-term success. In this session, you’ll learn practical insights and proven strategies to move from change management theory to real-world results. 
 
We’ll dive into foundational frameworks, such as Kotter’s 8-Step Change Model, to give you a step-by-step guide to driving transformation. You’ll learn how to create a sense of urgency, build a strong team to lead the change, and develop a vision that inspires action. We’ll also cover how to communicate your vision effectively, tackle roadblocks, create quick wins to maintain momentum, and cultivate a company culture that embraces change. We’ll use examples from our RCM business, where we have upgraded, enhanced, improved or overhauled every platform we utilize in the last 3 years. 
 
Whether you’re a seasoned leader or new to managing change, this session will give you the tools and confidence to lead meaningful, lasting transformation.
