What you'll learn

  • Explain why most change initiatives struggle, and recognise the early warning signs in your own organisation
  • Describe the typical emotional reactions to change (the change curve) and support people through each stage
  • Apply a step-wise change sequence, from creating urgency through to sustaining the new way of working
  • Communicate the "why" of a change so people understand the reason, not just the instruction
  • Work with resistance as information — surfacing concerns, involving sceptics and converting valid objections into improvements
  • Embed a change into systems, habits and measures so it survives after the project attention moves on
