Change Management: How to Initiate and Implement Change
Printer friendly

Course Overview
  Change is something that affects everyone differently. How we handle change can often reflect our ability to adapt to new challenges.

In this one-day instructor-led workshop you will learn to understand change, the causes for change, and how to accept it.

Objectives
  This one-day workshop will teach participants how to:
  • Accept there are no normal or abnormal ways of reacting to change, but that we must start from where we are.
  • See change not as something to be feared and resisted but as an essential element of the world to be accepted.
  • Understand that adapting to change is not technical but attitudinal. Change is not an intellectual issue but one that strikes at who you are.
  • Recognize that before we can embrace the way things will be, we must go through a process of grieving, and of letting go of the way things used to be.
  • See change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation.
  • Identify strategies for helping change be accepted and implemented in the workplace.

Audience
  This course is essential for anyone who is exposed to change in the workplace.
