Change Management Competencies

We face change all the time, in all areas of life. Some of us are more comfortable with change than others, but everyone can benefit from learning or reviewing strategies to deal with change constructively. In this engaging and powerful workshop, participants will be given a model to help them understand the stages people go through when things change. Focusing on a real-life work situation, participants will self-assess against a set of competencies to identify their skill level in dealing with change. Using a combination of individual and small group activities, they will identify personal change management actions they can take to navigate current and future work changes.

To lead change and sponsor specific initiatives in an organization, executives need to feel confident that they are holding their people accountable for the right expectations and actions.

Executives will be able to assess their own ability to lead change, and brainstorm actions and best practices for supporting current change management activities.

This workshop will support you by training you in change management practices as well as the lifecycle of the project from the team’s perspective.

Project leaders/managers are, implicitly, change managers.

Sometimes you are explicitly managing the change on a project when there is no specific change management role on the project team. This workshop will support you by training you in practical change management practices and tools that can enhance any kind of project where change is a critical element.

When you are a Change Practitioner, there are a lot of moving parts to manage and a lot of tools to manage them with. At times it can seem daunting to know what tool to use at each stage of a change, and how to properly use each tool when it is called for.

Practical exercises give you the chance to apply the tools to your own change project, as well as learn from examples from other projects, and will prepare you to take on the role of Change Management Practitioner with confidence and skill.
