Most successful leaders feel confident in their strategic planning, project management and performance management abilities, but experience frustration when it comes to realizing the full potential of planned change initiatives in their organizations. This isn’t just because they have high expectations. Research shows that 50-70% of change initiatives fall short of achieving the outcomes identified at the beginning of the change effort.

This program equips participants with the fundamental skills and knowledge they need to lead and manage both planned and unexpected change. Regardless of whether they have been instrumental in instigating the change or are themselves struggling to buy into the required changes even as they are expecting to manage others to implement the change, participants will gain perspective on the human side of change that will move both them and their team in the direction the organization needs.
