Leadership and ManagementManaging Organisational Change and Transformation
Change programmes are announced, resourced and then judged on whether the new structure or system went live, which is a milestone rather than an outcome, since people can be reorganised and still work the old way. This course covers change that actually takes. Delegates work through diagnosing the current state honestly, including the practices that will resist replacement, selecting and applying a recognised change model rather than improvising, and building a change plan covering sponsorship, communication, capability and reinforcement. Resistance is treated as information about the design rather than as an obstacle. Adoption measurement and the point at which a change is genuinely embedded are covered. The course closes on sustaining change after the project team has moved on.
