Broccoli Topics: Organizational Change Management (OCM) for Toddlers
Erica Mohre
Information Services Strategy and OCM Program Director
Nationwide Children's Hospital
About the Presentation
Toddlers may need up to seven exposures before accepting a new food—yet organizations often expect change adoption after a single communication or training. This engaging session uses the “broccoli principle” as a metaphor for effective change management, grounded in CCMP™ standards and the ADKAR® model. Attendees will explore how awareness differs from desire, why ability requires reinforcement, and how repetition builds sustained change.
Through humor and real‑world examples, the presentation demonstrates how structured communication, reinforcement planning, and feedback loops improve adoption outcomes, and why resistance is a normal, manageable part of change.
Key Takeaways
- Change succeeds through exposure and structure—acceptance is a product of consistency.
- Resistance fades when change becomes familiar and topics are recognizable—there is a process to it.
- Intentional early exposure allows leaders to build consensus while the product is being developed.
