MFPC - Managing Fast Paced Change
|
Overview
There are few guarantees in the workplace today, but change is one of them. "Just like it's always been" is quickly becoming a phrase of the past, often replaced by something such as, "We've streamlined the process." And so, kicking, screaming, and complaining, our workforce reluctantly adapts; only to find itself being faced with change once again. This course discusses the need for change, available change strategies, how to generate buy-in to those changes, and more.
Given the dynamic environments within which we work today, it is no surprise that the pace of change is increasing to unprecedented levels. To be able to effectively manage change in organizations is a key skill that is required in many roles and this program aims to hone the skills of those already familiar with change programs and those who have not had formal training.
With a range of facilitated, experiential and practical exercises we are able to instill the key requirements for an effective change program, while looking at the key reasons many change management program fail to deliver and the personal, emotional and psychological effects of change.
