Ghosts in the Machine: Why 'Perfect' Change Projects Fail and How to Fix Them
2 July 2026 12:00 - 13:00 NZST Online event
Why do so many well-designed change programmes fail to deliver lasting results? In this thought-provoking virtual event, Change Manager and Neuropsychologist Neil Micklewood invites psychologists and change professionals to look beyond strategy documents and process maps to the hidden psychological dynamics that shape organisational behaviour. Ghosts in the Machine: Why ‘Perfect’ Change Projects Fail (and How to Fix Them) explores how unspoken rules, embedded habits, group anxieties, and systemic patterns can quietly derail transformation efforts across corporate, government, and not-for-profit settings. Drawing on Organisational Dynamics, neuroscience, and psychology, this session offers a practical and evidence-informed framework for understanding resistance, diagnosing stalled systems, and designing more sustainable interventions. Attendees will gain fresh insight into the invisible drivers of change adoption, along with tools to map functional capacity and support value-driven action. This is an excellent opportunity for psychologists seeking to expand their systemic practice, strengthen their contribution to organisational change, and engage with contemporary approaches to human systems transformation. Free for Change Management Institute members, this online session offers accessible, high-value professional development for those working at the intersection of psychology, systems, and change.
