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. ( Back to
