  • Challenging the Status Quo
  • Experiencing Change

The Need for Strategy

Different organisations have different cultures, a system of shared values and beliefs that establish an organisational way of life. It’s important to analyse the  organisational culture before implementing a change, you therefore need to analyse the organisation itself. This module explores the 7’s framework which  looks at strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style and staff. We will also look at the political, economic, social and technical factors that could influence an organisation’s success and will explore  organisational strategies.

Challenging the Status Quo

Challenging the Status Quo is a vital part of business development, as those that stand still are likely to fail. This module explores the importance of ancestral and adventurous thinking in the decision making process and uncovers some useful exercises to help you to think outside of the box and gain a fresh perspective. Finally we will explore the combination of logic, experience and intuition in making sound decisions.

Experiencing Change

Security  and freedom are two vital elements of our everyday lives, but when a sudden  change occurs it can affect the balance between the two. This module explores  the seven steps of the change process, known as the change curve and looks at  the importance of separating imagined fear from reality in order to adapt to  change.

Making the Change

One of  the biggest obstacles a leader faces is leading change. This module looks at  the seven characteristics of effective change agents and explores the  decision making process. A force-field analysis will help you to uncover both  the driving and restraining forces for change. We will look at the importance  of effective communication and active listening.

Seeing Change Through

Once the  decision has been made you must see the change through. Change is a  complicated process that can often encounter obstacles along the way. This  module explores the roadblocks to change and how to overcome them. We will  look at dealing with criticism, dealing with stress, why change fails and the  benefits of continuous change.

Thriving in Change

It is important to understand the potential effects that change can have on your  team and organisation. This module will explore the five main forces of  change which will help you to anticipate and manage reactions. We will  explore the difference between cold and warm organisations and their response  to change. Finally we will look at the seven characteristics that effective  change agents share.
