Managing Change
Is this programme for you?
This programme is designed for those who need to effect or manage change within their organisation.
This programme is ideal for-
- Managers
- Executives
- Team and Project Leaders
- It’s pitched towards those who need to design and implement change programmes across multiple audiences in an easy-to-understand way.
If this is what you’re after, then feel free to telephone or email us. And we’re always happy to tailor our programmes to meet your specific needs.
Why this programme?
Organisational changes can be costly. Even when changes are “successful” there are costs in-
- Systems
- Redundancies
- Lost productivity
- Lower levels of customer service, and public relations.
Then there are the hidden costs of resistance to change within an organisation. This can lead to a failure to achieve all the benefits of the change. And ultimately it can result in a failure of the change initiative itself.
Often change management programmes simply focus on the tangible, “hard” outputs. That means the new processes, new strategies, and new way of doing things.
Our Managing Change programme addresses these issues as well as the significant “soft” issues. Uncertainty, unease, loss of trust, and fear.
These reactions are natural and healthy. What is not healthy is leaving them unacknowledged and unaddressed.
Change is an inevitable part of organisational development. It can be unsettling, but it doesn’t need to be that way. We’ll show you how to address the culture of change and to develop skills that support change.
How we run the workshops
Like all our courses, Managing Change is presented in a stress-free way. This two-day workshop establishes a safe environment to encourage honest discussion and experimentation. And where it’s okay to make mistakes.
Our approach is twofold-
- Support managers to recognise and cope with the effects of change themselves
- Resource managers to support their staff through the change transition
We use accelerated learning techniques to implant the key ideas - quickly, easily.
Our aim is to keep the learning experience simple and enjoyable
What you will learn
The group models the change process. This involves participants in addressing these issues for themselves.
And then together we plan how to manage that process for our people. Typically we work through these issues-
- What is change? Why is it necessary?
- Identifying the changes taking place in this organisation
- What are people’s reactions to these changes?
- Model of people’s responses to change
- Strategies and techniques to manage these responses
- Providing sustained support for organisational change
Follow-up
Managing Change sits among our specialist programmes. And as such we offer additional consultation services tailored to meet the needs of your organisation.
