Change Management Essentials

Training Workshop – Module Overview

Innesskirk’s innovative “Change Management Essentials”  will provide managers with an excellent overview regarding how to steer a company and its people through major change initiatives.

Change comes in many different categories, initiated by sudden or planned changes in size through mergers, acquisition; sometimes as part of a major restructuring or efficiency drive and sometimes because of large new projects. What’s important, is to understand the impact change has on people. This includes a manager’s role in preparation and active management of people to allow them to understand, accept and benefit from the opportunities of change.

Tutorial sessions, case studies, practical exercises, presentations and syndicate work make this a proactive, hands-on course.
