The document summarizes a Prosci webinar on changing how change management professionals talk about their work. It suggests focusing less on "what you do" like plans and activities, and more on "what you deliver" such as improved change outcomes and realizing project benefits that depend on employee adoption. The webinar covers why this reframing is important, how to talk about change management in the context of business problems and leaders' priorities, and what words and messages to use in descriptions, pitches and other communications. Attendees are encouraged to discuss how they help improve results rather than just listing tasks.
Prosci - Stop talking about "What you do" and Start talking about "What you deliver".

In a recent webinar, Tim Creasey, Chief Development Officer at
Prosci, suggested we shift the conversation. He suggests we ask
instead “what percent of project benefits and outcomes depend
on employees adopting, embracing and utilizing the change?”
This question was a real "aha" moment for me. It was a revelation
that I have embraced, adopted and utilized! It has opened doors.
I have now asked this question of leaders on two separate projects.
“What percent of the project benefits and outcomes depend on
employees adopting, embracing and utilizing the tool and process
we are implementing?” In both cases, eyes have widened and I
see minds whirling. Out of their mouths I hear, voices shaking,
“90-100%!” I respond, “So, what you are telling me is that we can
develop the most amazing tool and process and if employees don’t
adopt, embrace and utilize it then we have wasted our time and
money?” Heads slowly nod. I reply, “THAT’S change management.”
Testimonial on the power of shifting the conversation
