0113 - Understanding Change Management and How to Do it!

Delivery Options Classroom

Course Description

We have all heard that change is “hard,” yet the world around us is constantly changing. People in businesses of all industries need to be able to grasp what change is and why it is essential to their organizations. The ability to see why others may not well receive change is crucial to being successful in your change approaches. Communication is key, and being able to measure and explain your changes can be almost as important as getting people to actually change.

This hands-on course teaches you how to build your change management plan not only on the tasks for completing your change but also on how you will engage with the people you work with. Change can bring all kinds of emotions, so a plan to work WITH stakeholders to help them deliver valuable change efforts is one of your keys to success.

The instructor will walk you through defining change and how to consider change from others’ perspectives while giving you techniques and approaches to use so that you are successful throughout your change endeavors using real-world examples and practicing on your own current challenges.
