In today’s dynamic environment, leading successful change is no longer a managerial luxury but a critical necessity. It can be said that if you cannot lead change successfully, you cannot lead. Yet the frightening truth is that up to 70 per cent of change initiatives fail.

Many executives report that the more they press for change, the harder and almost reflexively people push back. It is as though Newton’s law was at work and that for every change action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Leading Successful Change (LSC) is a three-day programme designed to help you execute change more effectively in your organisation. You will learn about frameworks and tools that you can apply to lead change effectively. You will analyse different types of change - crisis, reactionary, anticipatory – and their different dynamics. You will examine peoples’ attitudes towards change – from early adopters to hard-core resistors. This programme is also designed to help you analyse different sources of resistance and how to create change strategies that factor in the different, non-linear dynamics of a change process over time. Specifically, the programme helps you to enhance your skills in the area of understanding peoples’ motivations, creating and sustaining a positive momentum for change and building broad networks of support.

An important component of this programme is the opportunity for you to learn and perfect your change skills by doing instead of just thinking. This practical learning is possible through the inclusion of a change simulation in the programme - a proprietary system called Change Pro Simulation. In addition, the programme is designed to be highly interactive in its approach and you are strongly encouraged to bring a specific change-related challenge that you would like to work on during the programme to ensure a high transference of lessons learned in the programme to real-life impact back on the job.

During the intensive and challenging three days, Leading Successful Change will prepare you to introduce, implement and embed change into your organisation.

• Elevate your understanding of change
• Enhance your capability in implementing change
• Learn about the skills required to initiate and execute change
