Leading Through Change

1 day (workshop)/Implementation assistance available (see below*)

 

Although a necessary part of organizational life, change is not always welcome – even when it’s for the better.   The more fundamental the change, the stronger the emotions that are likely to be triggered.  Change is not always easy because it is human nature to be satisfied with the ‘status quo.’  Therefore, understanding how to implement the change process becomes critical to success, particularly when the change is dramatic and/or affects multiple people, departments or plant locations.
 

Course Description: 

The focus of this workshop is to discuss the importance of a systematic change.  It includes all the steps and tools necessary before, during and after a major change takes place.  This program is intense but fun and at the end of the course, participants have a solid understanding of Change Management methodologies.  They will be able to lead their organizations successfully through incremental and radical changes.   Topics will include barriers to change and how to overcome them, management support, employee support and buy-in and planning and timelines. We will review:

 

  • Internal and External causes of change

  • Categorizing Types of change

  • Analyze change

  • Planning (Goals and objectives)

  • Strategic gaps

  • Gaining support
