How to Manage Change
Change management fails less often because of the change itself, and more often because resistance was never properly diagnosed.
About the course
This 2-day workshop for emerging and seasoned supervisors, managers and leaders applies the Beer et al and Bullock and Batten models for change, works through the top ten reasons people resist it, and builds a formal risk register for managing change-related risk. The result: leaders with a planned, formalised way to manage change while protecting productivity.
