What You Will Learn

Description
Today, change is everywhere and all organizations—irrespective of size, sector, or location—must embrace change and the opportunities and business value it brings. This training offers a structured approach to transitioning individuals, teams, and organizations from a current state to a desired future state. Change needs to be sustainable and therefore requires a project-based approach to its planning, implementation, and preserving so behaviors change and remain changed. Strong leadership is critical and must be effective for success to be achieved and sustained.
The training will focus on the philosophy of Plan, Do, Sustain—a common strategy used in change management. Exercises and a case study are blended throughout the training to let learners apply their acquired knowledge in a simulated situation. Documentation appendices for this training contain tools, templates, and supporting information.
