About the workshop
Is it possible to facilitate successful organisation change? While the bad news is that many change strategies fail to meet their objectives, the good news is that some organisations and leaders do succeed. They adapt their thinking and behaviour in response to a rapidly changing environment. They cope with complexity by being agile and responsive. They learn from experience to improve performance and transform relationships with staff, customers, and stakeholders. This workshop will be practical, developing your capacity for learning, leading, and facilitating individual, team and organisational change and it will enable you to develop new skills. It will help you motivate and manage others in complex circumstances.
It also will help you identify and harness the attitudes and behaviours embedded in successful change. The workshop will include a visit to an organisation that has managed change successfully.
What the workshop will cover
• Developing a learning strategy that can transform our capacity for responsive change management
• Building communication skills that enable us to listen, coach, contract with and facilitate our colleagues and build trust, confidence, and self-esteem
