Change is continual in organisations. Whether it’s Covid19, the current economic climate or the environment, organisations are routinely making changes to maintain their competitive advantage, build customer trust and respond to changes in market trends. It is important to mention that change and the impact of change look very different for each organisation. Factors such as your organisational culture and values, management team and sector can play a huge part in how change is managed internally.
As a manager, you have a critical role in managing the change and supporting your staff through the process. Whether you’re a senior management or a future manager, this course will help you understand the following:
- What does Change Management look like?
- Why is Change Management important?
- Academic Models for Change
- Staff Resistance to Change
- Strategies to manage Change as a Manager
Through podcasts, individual tasks and presentations, I will deepen your understanding of change and support you in becoming a more effective manager of change. Also, you will be directed to case studies and articles to improve your knowledge of the factors impacting change, why staff could be resistant to change and how managers can help staff overcome their initial concerns and criticisms of change.
