·           INTRODUCTION:

The last ten years have been marked by ever increasing demands for customer focus and competitiveness on private and public sector organizations.  However, within this complex and dynamic environment, relatively few organizations have embraced well-established methods for strategy development.  Change is the single most important fact of successful management today.  To remain competitive individuals and organizations have to adopt a positive attitude towards change.  It’s impossible to deny: change happens.  Things change in the marketplace, in the workplace, in the lives of individuals, and organizations.  Many organizations are, by definition, resistant to change.  As with so many matters, that depends upon the culture of that organization.  The best way to manage change is to create a culture where the trust levels are so high that when changes occur, they are greeted as events likely to make life better than before.  A culture where the joy of the challenge outweighs the fear of the unknown.

 

Change, in and of itself, is not the enemy and it’s not difficult at the same time.

 

This dynamic workshop is designed for managers, supervisors and individuals who have to lead within a changing organizational environment and personal life.  They are going to develop the essential skills and competencies they need to introduce change, deal with resistance, bring their teams through transition, and inspire them to achieve optimal performance.
