Change Management® Training and Change Management Certification Courses
Business Change Management training focuses on the people involved and affected by change in your organisation. For change to be successful, the right people need to be involved in making the decisions, planning and implementing the change. Everyone affected by the change (the users) need to support it and make the decision to working in new ways. If this doesn’t happen, however well planned and managed your project is, the change will not take place and benefits will not be realised. It allows people to:
• Increase 'buy in' for the change, reducing resistance and addressing concerns. • Ensure the changes are suitable, workable and acceptable for all affected users. • Ensure the change is owned and supported throughout the organisation. • Take 'people issues' into consideration when making decisions about the change. • Ensure affected users know why it is happening, what they need to do and how they will be supported. • Ensure new ways of working are sustainable and embedded so the benefits can be realised.
