UKNCI Live: How to Engage People

Why would people get behind a change they’ve had no say in? In this episode of UKNCI Live, Matt Sims, Stuart Robertson and Nikki Libera explore what it really takes to engage people in change, sharing honest stories of getting it wrong and the lessons that followed. From rearranging a workplace without asking the people who use it, to rebuilding trust when previous promises have gone nowhere, we discuss why good intentions can still create frustration. We explore how listening to everyday frustrations, making small improvements that matter to people and giving quieter voices space to contribute can build confidence and ownership. We also discuss difficult conversations, the fears surrounding automation and AI, and why developing people needs to be part of the change. A practical, open conversation for anyone leading change who wants their people involved from the start. Have an experience to share or a topic you’d like us to cover?
