How AI Automates Assumptions: Bias, Inclusion & Trust in Dynamics + Copilot

Managing Resistance on a Project or Change Initiative

Managing resistance effectively is critical to success with organizational change. Applying tactics for managing resistance can help you identify and focus on the right issues - so you can help your teams through their change journeys and engage with and adopt critical changes in your organization.

Subcontracted Manufacturing in Business Central

Subcontracting is a common practice in the manufacturing industry. Often, specific products necessitate the expertise or assistance of third parties during their creation. Managing multiple vendors within the production order process can quickly become complex. To address this, Business Central offers a module designed to help businesses efficiently monitor and manage subcontracting operations.

Leading Through Change Without Losing Your People (or Your Mind)

When systems and processes change, people don’t automatically come along for the ride. This session explores how leaders at every level drive real adoption during transformation—by translating change into meaningful impact, managing resistance, and coaching teams through uncertainty. Attendees will leave with practical leadership behaviors they can apply immediately, regardless of role or title.

Primary Product: All Products

Track: Training and User Adoption

Session Type: Breakout Session (60 min)

Ability Level: All

Learning Objectives:

Identify the leadership behaviors that most directly influence adoption when ERP systems and processes change, and explain why technical success alone does not drive sustained usage.


Apply a standardized framework to ERP change scenarios to determine how leaders can communicate impact, manage resistance, and coach teams through disruption before and after go‑live.


Define one specific leadership action they can take immediately to improve adoption when systems, processes, and people all shift.


Go-Live Is a Milestone. Adoption is the Destination.

A no-fluff roundtable/workshop on how partners actually drive adoption and outcomes.

A high‑energy, practical session where partners:

* Get brutally honest about what’s actually breaking adoption
* Swap field‑tested plays that increase usage, reduce workarounds, and protect ROI
* Leave with three partner moves they can implement immediately:

1. a better adoption contract,
2. a better leader enablement motion,
3. a better post‑go‑live impact plan.

This is a workshop style session, can be geared toward 60-, 90-, and 120-minute sessions
