Transitional Change: Turning Resistance into Acceptance
Change is the only constant.....
"As the demands of the marketplace in 2012 require organisations to change, there is an increasing pressure on managers to master and drive the process of change through using best practice in terms of managing the transition. The core problem for change makers is that not everyone embraces change as the norm - many resist for very good reasons. This workshop concentrates upon handling objections with perceived 'resistance' and developing strategies to smooth the transition for change. Fundamentally, the workshop is a powerful event for helping all within the change arena to move towards developing a climate of openness and trust and replacing resistance with acceptance"
During this highly participative Workshop, Philip will take participants through 'best practice' in change mastery, case studies, models of how change can be measured and mastered.
