Values and Change — reflecting on making change processes as humane as possible

This event is for those who oversee management of a charity.

Charities are always in flux; change is inevitable. That change can feel great when it is about growth and investment. However, the recent economic climate has meant that many change processes have been very difficult as organisations have had to shrink and say goodbye to valued staff.

This session will look at change during difficult times. It will go through some of the basics of good change management. There will be a particular focus on values, looking at how putting them at the core before, during and after the change can really help make it as humane a process as possible.

Facilitator

Dr. Judith Turbyne became Chief Executive of Children in Scotland in August 2021.

She has spent most of her professional life working in and with the charity sector. For much of that time she worked in international development, with charities challenging global poverty and inequality. She worked in Latin America and the Caribbean for many years, in local frontline organisations and with multinational funders, before moving to Dublin to work as the CEO of Progressio Ireland.

Judith returned home to Scotland in 2013 as Head of Engagement with the Scottish Charity Regulator where she has had the pleasure of working with many charities across Scotland. Jude is the Chair of the Corra Foundation and a trustee with the Scotland Malawi Partnership.

She has a PhD from the University of Bath which looked at empowerment in development. Aside from her wonderful friends and family, the things that make her most happy are mountains, music, running, cricket and a good book.
