Managing Organisational Change Effectively

Managing Organisational Change Effectively Course Overview

The implementation of change is a daunting process for any organisation, even if the change is anticipated. Likewise, change enforcement does not always run smoothly, and the impact is not always as positive as intended. Consequently, competent managers are needed to govern the application of changes within organisations, thus they need to be skilful, perceptive, and must possess exceptional people skills.

This Managing Organisational Change Effectively training course will provide delegates with the vital skills and tools to lead their team through change, from its initial planning to evaluation. Proficient management is necessary to ensure that those with authority behave in an appropriate, exemplary manner.

A prominent portion of this intense one-day training course regards the people aspect of change management. Organisational change is often met with resistance and negativity, which can cause low morale as employees are comfortable with things as they stand and do not see the need for alterations. Therefore, during this training course, delegates will learn how to adopt people-focused strategies, centred around understanding their employee’s concerns and transforming their defiance into support. As a result, delegates will also explore effective communication methods that are fundamental for successful interaction with team members. Within this section, the trainer will cover techniques needed to challenge and motivate teams, in order to shift their mindset of change.

Also, this training course will provide delegates with an understanding of the importance of setting goals, so that teams have something to work towards, which will make them feel valued upon fulfilment. Similarly, individuals will learn how to provide sufficient support and will develop their knowledge of monitoring and evaluating changes upon implementation. Overall, delegates will learn how to address challenges that they are likely to face, and will thus emerge from this training course as proficient organisational change managers.
