About this course
Change Management and Transformation gives delegates a structured, practical understanding of why change fails and how it succeeds and change models: Kotter, ADKAR and Lewin, then builds the skills to apply stakeholder analysis and resistance management, communication plans for change and sustaining and measuring change in real work. Leadership and management courses for supervisors, managers and executives who need to set direction, lead change and get results through people. One of our most requested courses.
Sessions are led by practitioners with at least 15 years in the field, and mix short input with exercises, case studies and group work, so delegates return with methods they can use straight away.
Who should attend
Managers, heads of department, team leaders and high-potential staff preparing for broader leadership roles. No specialist prerequisites are required for the Practitioner level; Foundation, Advanced and Executive versions are available on request.
