Overview

It is critical that organisations change – to keep ahead of the competition, to meet customer needs, to take advantage of new technology and thinking etc. We are all subjected to change in one way or another.

Why then do so many organisations fall short of successfully implementing change? Why do they fail to recognise that even the smallest change will have an immediate and often long-term impact on performance when not appropriately managed? Failure to recognise and take appropriate action at each stage of the change is costly both in terms of revenue and staff morale.

This course helps participants understand the effects of change, the likely reaction and impact on the people and the business. It defines practical ways to lead and manage people through the transition of change and to be better equipped for the next change ahead.
