Change Management for Driving Business Results
Managing Ourselves and Others through Change to Elevate Business Results
Are you looking for a way to better understand change management?
Large-scale change constantly confronts leaders and managers as they plan and execute strategy in their organisations. What they need is a comprehensive roadmap to manage the multi-faceted human aspects of change, helping them to transition critical stakeholders from Point A to B.
By driving alignment between leaders and those affected by change, organisations can enhance performance, reduce risk/cost and ensure teams successfully accomplish their objectives.
The Change Management for Driving Business Results course is the perfect way to learn how to lead and manage change in your working environment. This change management programme will help you understand what it takes to be successful in today’s ever-changing world, and how you can use that knowledge to improve yourself as well as those around you. You’ll also learn about the different types of changes that happen within an organisation, and how they affect employees at all levels.
This course will teach you how to navigate the different phases of change and help your staff do the same. It also emphasises reflection on what can be done individually or from management to facilitate transition through change processes including how to read and understand resistance, and turn unproductive energy into constructive influence within change processes.
You’ll learn about complex systems, human behaviour in relation to these systems, as well as strategies for navigating them successfully. The course is designed so that participants can apply their learning immediately in their work environment after completing it. There are no prerequisites required other than an interest in improving knowledge & skills related to managing people through organisational changes. Participants should have at least 3 years of experience working with people (not just technical expertise) before attending this training programme.Â
