Managing Change
Book Online
The ability to manage change is one of the most important competencies that public sector organisations expect from their managers and staff, especially in the current climate. Yet, research shows that typically 70% of all change efforts in organisations fail. Organisations need people in key areas who both know what needs to be done to make change happen and can work with others to get results. This means that those involved in managing change now need to have the skills of a ‘change agent’ – someone who can work with others and influence them to do things differently, and better.
This one day introductory course is designed to meet the needs of those who wish to increase their skills in managing change. The workshop will provide them with the tools and techniques to implement change more effectively in their organisations.
