Guiding Organisational Change

Course Duration: 3 Days (8:30am-5:00pm)

Professional Development Units (PDU): 24

You'll Learn How To:

• Manage an organisation change by first ensuring that individuals have completed their personal transitions
• Assess how and why a manager's natural tendency almost always torpedoes an organisation transition, and what you can do about it
• Determine the difference between change and transition, and learn why a change is not complete until the transition is
• Use a proven step-by-step process for transition and recognise the value of each step
• Apply the LEVER principle-five kinds of actions you can take to help others through transition
• Cross points of no return, making final decisions as you go

Program Objectives:

Though many project managers have formal training and credentials in the profession, very few have been specially trained in organisation and personal change, even though they are frequently the original change agents! This extraordinarily powerful three-day workplace simulation teaches an effective process for moving through transitions—whether they be everyday changes that occur on projects and within organisations or layoffs, mergers or acquisitions—and creating new outcomes. This skill development is accomplished in the classroom through actual, real-time experience with multiple, simultaneous, overlapping organisational and personal changes.

With a proven step-by-step transition process as the framework for the workshop, participants learn about the differences between change and transition, why change is not complete until the transition is and why we all move through transitions at different speeds. Participants learn that all change is personal, even organisational change. The practical skills learned in this workshop will enable participants and their coworkers to move through changes more quickly and with less distress. The difference between an average project manager and an outstanding one can often be traced to the level of "people skills." This simulation is a dynamic and challenging way to make a quantum leap in those skills.

Simulation ComponentThis course combines classroom training with a computer-based simulation that challenges you to implement your new knowledge in real-life project situations!

Reminder: Participants should have a thorough understanding of basic project management, including knowledge of Gantt charts, resource leveling and general leadership practices.
