Change Management

Change is inevitable in today s environment. Participants learn not only how to deal with change, but also how to manage others in an ever-changing environment. Participants explore how to become more resilient to change and how to view change as an opportunity rather than a threat. Our focus is on specific skills and attitudes needed to remain productive during changing times. We also explore our personal change style (how we react to change), the different types of change, and how to manage through each of these stages.


Participants will explore:

Managing At The Speed of Change
Increase your resilience to change, which increases your capacity for change. Resilient people are flexible, focused, positive, proactive, and organized.

Managing Transitions
Explore the four types of organizational change with real-world examples. Learn to manage yourself and others through each type.

Understanding Change Strategies
We each go through various stages of change from denial through resistance, and then exploration to commitment. Develop specific strategies for dealing with each.

Dealing With Imposed Change
Through a highly participatory activity, the group works to achieve certain tasks established by top management. Throughout, they must deal with unexpected changes as they occur. New and innovative strategies must be devised.

A Change Style Assessment
Different people deal with change differently. This tool helps participants look at their characteristic preferences for either adaptive or innovative approaches to change. Why do some people prefer to do things better and others prefer to do things differently ? We look at the different styles of problem-solving, decision-making and creativity, and the advantages and disadvantages of each.
