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.
