Overview:

Developing a Strategic Change Plan allows your organisation to create a roadmap for its stakeholders to reach their destination. A well developed Strategic Change Plan will drive the change process from the highest level (vision, goals and objectives) to the day-to-day work. In times of rapid change, the ability of your organisation to continuously redefine its strategy and adapt to the demands of the citizenry is essential. Most barriers to improvement experienced by organisations are due to a lack of clarity on strategy and direction

This workshop is designed to help leaders, organisational strategists and members of change teams identify and develop the skills and strategies that lead to successful change. It focuses on two core elements: change leadership and strategic thinking and planning. You will explore both elements, learn how to adapt and apply them to your own organisational context.

 

The workshop is highly interactive and includes exercises to help you understand key change models, theories and their practical implementation. You will also be able to share your experiences of organisational change with other participants and learn from each other’s approaches to development and planning.
