Introducing Facilitating and Leading Change

When change is implemented well, people feel engaged in the change process and work collectively towards a common objective, delivering results and realising benefits. Central to accomplishing this is being able to understand the behaviours and emotions that people experience when faced with any change, and have a positive impact on this.

This course will help enable you to be an effective facilitator and leader of change so that you achieve the full potential of the projects and programmes you lead and effectively influence the development of the continuous improvement culture and associated behaviours in your organisation on a daily basis.

This programme may be taken on its own, or as part of our Black Belt or Business Black Belt programmes.

About the Course

We strive to be flexible and adapt the course coverage to meet the needs of those attending – for example, with how much time we spend on particular areas. As a guide the following sets out the outline of the Facilitating and Leading Change course.

Our introduction sets the scene with understanding your context for change and your learning outcomes from the course:

  • VUCA Environment
  • The case for Managing Change
  • Change tools and Improvement matrix

We will discuss and practise some fundamental aspects of facilitation and leadership in the context of change, which is built upon as the course progresses:

  • Profile of a Facilitative Leader
  • Effective workshops
  • Rapport/ Body Language

The framework we use is an adapted version of Kotter’s change model to explore and practise various elements associated with leading and managing change. Please see the course contents  for full details.

Course Delivery

We will use a combination of:

  • Discussion and opportunity for people to input their own experiences of change
  • Exercises to practise some of the areas covered
  • Self-diagnostic questionnaires (we ask for these to be completed in advance)
  • Short videos to illustrate concepts
