The emphasis of this course is the creation of real, lasting change through programme management techniques.
It covers the barriers to change, the change manager’s responsibility in facilitating change and the strategies, tactics and best practices they may employ to ensure that the change is both beneficial and lasting. There is a great emphasis on stakeholder and communication management.
Do you need to create lasting change in your organisation? Are you responsible for transferring projects to business as usual? Do you need to understand the differences between change, project and programme management? If yes, this course is for you.
Delegates will be able to identify potential barriers to change and then understand how to overcome them. They will appreciate the importance of change management in a programme environment. The delegates will understand the roles and responsibilities, and necessary competencies, of those involved in change management, the complexity and challenges of affecting real business and organisational change and change management as a discrete discipline and how it relates to other methodologies.
This course is a mix of interactive groupwork and presentations that stimulate and challenge delegates current views of change management. Casework is used to practice change management skills and deepen understanding.
To be effective, change not only needs to be delivered but also embedded firmly into your organisation. Our internet based change management guide (e:CMguide ) supports you in the implementation of successful change. It ensures you keep stakeholders, at all levels, informed of what is happening, with funding and resourcing for initiatives firmly in place.
The guide is sold separately but will be provided to delegates who attend this course free of charge to support them in embedding change in their organisation. It provides a different perspective to change initiatives and includes a three-phase change management life cycle – initiate change, deliver change, and review change.
The users of the e:CMguide include anyone in the organisation that has a defined role to play in change initiatives, and three key roles have been recognised in the guide – catalyst, deliverer and enabler. (To see a demonstration version of the e:CMguide click here)
