Course Overview

Change is constantly occurring in our organisations and to ensure that the transitions are as smooth as possible, we need to know how changes originate, how they are planned and what the challenges and risks are inherent in the change process. Learn how to assess whether change is necessary, what needs to be changed, how to build a business case for change and how to create a mindset and organisational support for change. Explore how to create a compelling vision and strategy to ensure support from stakeholders and how to develop a winning communication plan, as well as how to help people cope with change.

Interested in finding out more about how organisational change can affect the environment in which you work? Go to our website and download our webinar ‘Taking Charge of Organisational Change,’ presented by Jonathan Gilbert, Director of Client Solutions (ESI). Recorded in October 2008, this webinar covers the impact of change in all areas and the impact it can have on all projects, regardless of whether it is small and localised or spread across an entire enterprise.
