Managing change
In today’s climate of global instability, change is a fact of working life. This blended short course gives leaders and managers the tools they need to deal with change.
Mastering change management
It is well-known that organisations with the agility to embrace and respond to change are the most successful.
Well-managed change improves organisational performance by promoting creativity, innovation and problem-solving as well as improving talent retention and utilisation. On the other hand, change can be unsettling for employees causing uncertainty, ambiguity, tension and anxiety if not handled properly.
First line managers have the widest touchpoint within an organisation and are often listened to more than senior leadership teams. Our Managing change course will give your managers the skills and tools they need to effectively manage change and deliver business goals.
Course features
Managing change is a ready-to-run, short training course that is delivered in three modules.
Modules one and three - elearning
We start with four key models and theories of change to provide a sound understanding of the context of managing change and available tools. This knowledge will then be used and applied in the face-to-face workshop.
Further elearning after the workshop revisits key models and tools to manage change, supporting participants and helping to embed learning from the programme.
Delivered on our social learning platform, participants can engage with the content and each other, developing networks and driving conversations around change. Participants can access the elearning on their laptops, phones or tablets allowing them to fit learning into their busy schedules.
Module two - face-to-face workshop
Facilitated by change experts, this workshop focuses on the practical application of managing change.
Our consultants all have extensive business experience and have personally managed organisational change so they can advise and guide participants based on both knowledge of the theory and real-life experience.
Participants are required to bring their own work issues to the workshop so that they can see the theory and models applied to relevant topics, get constructive support and build action plans .
The relationships and learning community built between participants during the course fosters peer support, engagement and on-going personal development.
We will measure the impact of the course through post-course evaluation and an impact report giving you confidence about the return on your investment.
