This workshop is about thinking strategically about change & keeping people at the centre of your change strategy.  Participants will be guided through a process to develop a strategy for their own organisational change project – whilst developing their individual skills for the leadership of that project.  The workshop will integrate a range of contemporary approaches to change management, with a focus on participatory approaches.

Core content:

Change begins with me: What’s your own struggle with change? 

The nature of change: Planned, emergent and the external forces driving the need for change. 

Developing a clear vision for the “why” and “what” of change: Articulating a clear link between the impact of external forces and the proposed internal change.

Establishing the “how”: Developing a clear strategy / Placing people at the centre / The meaning of culture & the psychology of resistance to change / The politics of powerlessness / Forming a representative team / Developing a communication strategy.

Approaches to leadership / Powerlessness vs “Agency” / Encouraging and facilitating difficult negotiations / Facilitating staff resilience and adjustment.
