Most leaders in charge of change projects are knowledgeable and skilful when it comes to technical matters. But many find the human aspects of change trickier to navigate.

Many interpret the natural concerns and negativity of some of their stakeholders as ‘resistance to change’. Too often, they can see it as a barrier to be overcome, rather than as opportunity to listen, learn and maybe even improve their project.

In this workshop, we examine the rational, emotional and behavioural aspects of change. Participants will apply the principles they learn to their own live project.

At the end of the second day, participants will present their ideas to a few senior leaders.

What will participants explore together?

The psychology of change

Maximising acceptance through thoughts, feelings and behaviours.​

Vision and rationale

What would the change look like? Why should we do it?​

Stakeholder engagement

What do our stakeholders care about? How can we involve them?​

Communication

What should we say? What do we need to ask?​

Learning and adjustment

Should we pivot or persevere?​

Building momentum and resilience

How can we create a critical mass of support? ​

Project presentations
​By presenting to senior leaders, participants get feedback, integrate all the concepts discussed, and commit to continuing their learning.
