Founder, AI-Powered Change Management Specialist
Sheena Karim is the founder of Change Made Simple, a Melbourne-based change management consultancy building AI-powered tools that bring real diagnostic insight to people-side change. With 30 years of project experience - 20 of those specialising in change management - Sheena has worked across 50+ projects and 30+ organisations, including NAB, Australia Post, Monash University, and AB InBev.
Her toolkit covers the full change management stack: stakeholder mapping, change impact assessments, readiness diagnostics, and training and communications planning.
She holds a Graduate Certificate in Change Management and a Masters in Business Leadership and Coaching.
Sheena believes that change management is all about listening and empathy, but she uses AI to help her with the diagnostic part of the change activities.
This session is a working workshop, not a talk. Bring a real change issue from your own work: stakeholder buy-in, resistance to a new tool or process, low engagement, a project that's stalled, team dynamics getting in the way, unclear sponsorship, whatever's live for you right now. We'll group people by similar issues, then run each one through one of Change Made Simple's live AI diagnostic tools to surface what's actually going on underneath it. From there it's over to the room: what's the tool telling you, what's it missing, and what would you actually do next. The AI behind the tool will give you an analysis and a set of actions, the discussion will allow you to ask questions and make sure you understand your next steps. You'll leave with a clearer view of your own situation and a practical next steps from a people / change angle.
