Overview:
Leaders are often asked to lead organisational change without any prior training in change leadership. The manner in which change is led, however, has a significant impact on the chances of an organisation achieving their change goals. The Change Leaders Development Programme focuses on the key capabilities necessary for the successful leadership of organisational change.

Who should attend:
This programme is for leaders:

•leaders faced with implementing significant change who want to improve their chances of success
•leaders who would like to understand clearly why past change initiatives succeeded or failed and how to take this knowledge into the future
•leaders who want to become better equipped for successfully leading future change
•organisational development and change specialists who want to understand the essential requirements for successful change leadership.

Learning objectives:

•understand the essential requirements for successful change leadership
•critically examine the prevailing views on leadership and change and the limits and possibilities of these frameworks for your world
•appreciate the requirements for strategic change leadership across all stages of the change process
•assess your world as a basis for identifying the critical levers for initiating and sustaining successful change.

Course outline:

•Day 1: Change Leadership Essentials: rethinking change and leadership for change, understanding the nature of change leadership and the critical challenges associated with implementing change successfully
•Day 2: The Anatomy of a Change Leader: key roles, critical competencies, and the importance of role modelling
•Day 3: The Artful Change Process: Going beyond traditional views of change to work effectively with the realities of your unique circumstances
•Day 4: The Psychology of Change: Understanding of human dynamics of change and how to work effectively with the responses to change in yourself and others.


Course format:
Four one-day workshops spaced at monthly intervals with a central focus on the being, thinking and doing of successful change leadership; and simple integration exercises applied between workshops to help consolidate learning.

You will learn through stories, mini-lectures, self-reflection, small group exercises and group discussion and through applying simple tools and templates to understand and assess your world.

Ideally there are a number of participants from the same organisation so that you can so that you can take a shared understanding back into your organisation.
