Change management projects have a high failure rate. Most focus on the organisation’s structure and systems forgetting the human component during change. For successful change, staff need to own the change during planning and implementation.

This presentation focuses on the people component by showing how an individual’s development, mindset, values and emotions influence the change process. From this perspective change implementation takes a different focus and helps manage resources required for implementation in a different and more targeted way.

Key learning outcomes:
  • Understand the context of change in organisations
  • Learn how to assess your organisation for change readiness from a culture perspective
  • Gain an understanding how individuals influence change implementation
  • Learn about the resource components for change implementation
  • Gain an insight on tools for getting staff on board for the change

Who should attend: Suitable for managers and employees affected by change.
