Managing Change
This is a practical workshop for managers on how to manage change effectively, both for themselves, their teams and their organisations.
Change is nearly always stressful in some way but may bring huge benefits if it is well planned and implemented. It may be met by attitudes ranging from delight to active resistance, often dependent on the level of involvement and control involved. This workshop will explore successful strategies for managing change and will highlight some of the pitfalls for the unwary.
This workshop tackles some particularly relevant strategies at a time when many organisations are unwilling participants in wider changes imposed on them by the current economic climate.
