Program Description:
Many organizations are undergoing significant change – some of it is even planned! It is not uncommon that change initiatives achieve mediocre results or fail. Delays occur due to politics, lack of planning, unforeseen issues, or other reasons which increase the overall costs. According to one study, businesses spend more money on the change than the change ends up providing. This session will highlight change management best practices and attitudes tending to facilitate productive organizational change. The point is to facilitate greater economic value faster by effectively developing, deploying, and aligning the company’s assets. Topics include:

Tendency to resist change. Organizations have their destructive or maladaptive responses to situations. Resistance from those who: might lose power, influence, control; do not understand the implicaions of the change; do not trust the “change agents”.
Change management strategies and tactics
Importance of social and informal networks
The challenge: Using a combination of tactics at the right time with the right people to get them to think and behave differently.
Political dynamics: Making constructive use of individuals and factions exerting influence for their own agendas.
Tips on managing the changes that the change initiative brings about inside the company.
Participants will receive up to date resources including assessment tools, questionnaries, checklists, a bibliography, listing of workshops and websites

The program will be action & decision-oriented utilizing foundational knowledge and theory, practical application, and personal and collective reflection. The method of delivery is computer-supported, team-based, experiential and collaborative learning. Participants will develop / hone skills.

Learning Objectives:

Address various forms of active and passivce resistance:
