About the workshop
The workshop will equip you with all the skills you need to respond to what is changing in your environment and to plan and implement strategies that improve systems, adapt behaviour and achieve organisational objectives. You will identify how your organisation tends to manage change and learn to choose from a variety of alternative approaches that work with systems and relationships. You will learn to develop strategies that incorporate the most important factors, attract resources and gain support from stakeholders. You will gain insights into your approach to leadership, power, authority and change and how your behaviour impacts on others and contributes to organisational culture. You will learn how to use emotional intelligence and intuition to identify what is important and to become flexible and adaptive. This workshop is divided into two modular weeks which can be attended as separate modules or combined to gain a more comprehensive understanding of change management.
