Event details

This two day residential programme introduces you to a structured way of approaching organizational change and is ideal for you if you are a senior leader with an organizational change challenge that you would like to explore.

Summary

As anyone who has attempted it will know, leading change in organisations is fraught with difficulty. “Organisational change would be so much easier, if it didn’t involve people!” But it does, so  leaders need to approach organisational change with the entire “system” in mind. 

In this two-day residential programme, the participants will experience a structured and systemic way of illuminating the issues they are facing as they bring about organisational change and use practical tools to explore how these issues can be addressed. The participants will look at change from other people’s perspective, understand how they may be unconsciously influencing the process of change, explore people’s resistance to change, and develop prioritised actions to enable change.

The programme is ideal for senior leaders facing a period of significant organisational change, who would value the opportunity to have time and space to reflect on the challenges therein, with support from the speaker and fellow participants. The programme is delivered in an engaging and entertaining way and the delegates will be invited to participate in “systemic experiments” to illustrate some of the change challenges that other delegates bring to the programme.

Key Learning Outcomes

An intensive course with interesting discussions, exploration of concepts and development of techniques on key learnings, including:

  • How to make change stick
  • Empathy as a tool for change
  • Use and practice of change tools and frameworks
  • Identifying required leadership skills to deliver change
  • Creating a plan to cross barriers of change

Content & Learning Styles

The programme will combine research findings with unique insights and thought provoking presentations to stimulate in-depth discussions. Peer learning is a big part of the days and you will be given every opportunity to share ideas and learn not only from the speakers but also from others in the group.

The programme will include practical group work to benchmark current practices within your organisation.
