Info

One of the first challenges of change is that it is by nature unpredictable and uncertain, as everything that is related to the future must be. We cannot guarantee that what we predict will unfold in the way we plan nor when other factors or events will intervene that we did not foresee. We certainly cannot predict the reactions or actions of other people – our colleagues, our customers, competitors or other stakeholders. As we change, or plan to change, they are doing the same thing. In this sense everything is shifting and moving making it impossible to be precise or certain. This uncertainty means that people have different reactions to change. You may embrace change, see it as an opportunity to improve the situation. You may plan rationally and logically to make a transition or major transformation that makes complete sense to you. However, as a manager you probably recognise that change often fails as a result of the inability to take others with you on the journey.

 This course is intended to help participants think critically about change programmes in their own organisation and devise strategies that are more likely to make them a successful change manager by applying new skills and models to their own specific context. The strong link between course learning and your work practice creates relevant, enduring and transferable outcomes.
