Overview:

Change Management skills have increasingly become a core requirement for the effective management of projects, budgets and personnel. One key lesson our trainers have seen repeated across numerous industries through the Covid-19 pandemic is not to wait for change to overcome your organisation. Change Management principles need to be embedded in business resilience programmes. Utilising David Snowden’s Cynefin model as a basis for developing sense making before making strategy the course takes the candidates away from rigid and process decision-making structures which can impede collective and creative thinking. Building flexibility into decision-making structures not only enhances business resilience but promotes efficiencies from existing structures.
