Managing Change in Organization Somerset West Bay Doha, Doha

Course details

Change is a constant in many of our lives. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas, and methods often change, affecting the way we perform daily tasks and live our lives. This Change Management workshop will give any leader tools to implement changes more smoothly and to have those changes better accepted. This workshop will also give all participants an understanding of how change is implemented and some tools for managing their reactions to change.

Change Management Training is important in today’s professional world as organisational change is more the norm rather than the exception. More than ever, work roles and organisations are in a state of flux with changes in structure, re-deployment, return to work, redundancy and personal crisis. Hence it is important to understand the change management process and learn some important change management tools.

Change takes place on three different levels:

• the Inpidual
• the Team
• the Organisation

Organisational change management has to happen at all three levels as they are interrelated.

This Change Management Training Program is geared toward teaching the change management process as well as some change management tools and principles that can support managers, consultants and other change facilitators to fulfill their mission: to initiate and sustain change processes.

Emphasis is placed on the people part of Change. How to deal with denial and resistance and then encourage exploration and build commitment to change? Participants are encouraged to use their own ‘Change Objective/Situation’ and numerous opportunities are given for them to apply the concepts.
