Management Development >> Change Management
Overview
Change is constant in every organisation, but the extent to which it is embraced or resisted will have a great deal to do with how it is introduced and managed.
This course seeks to assist those instrumental in the change process, from a strategic to a supervisory level. We provide practical steps in how to deal with change effectively. Allowing participants to explore their own situations identifying the barriers and manage the change process successfully.
Participants will leave the course with a personal action plan outlining and supporting the process they will follow.
