Delivering Organisational Change and Transitions

In today's business climate, organisations are driven towards change largely by the rampant pressures of the latest technology and globalisation. A fundamental truth is that only the organisations who can change as quickly as their business environment survive.

Managing change successfully is an essential management skill in today's fast-paced business world. Change is often seen as threatening if not understood - this course teaches the lessons of this well-trodden road and provides a framework such that delegates can manage major change programmes with confidence expected from managers tasked with this level of responsibility.

Change is of two types:

• Evolutionary change where organisations make slow and steady transitions
• Step change where fundamental differences occur at organisation wide levels e.g. the implementation of a new organisational design, the introduction of a performance culture, a major project such as the introduction of an organisation wide software, merger or acquisition

This course focuses on the latter type of change.
