Close to 80% of change initiatives end up failing, or falling short from reaching their goals. For the most part this is not because the initiatives represent bad ideas, but rather it is mostly attributed to flawed execution, failure to understand what the change is about, failure to realize the extent of the organizational change, a flawed definition of what success should look like, and an overly optimistic view of the magnitude, reach, depth and breadth of the change initiative. This workshop is an eye opener for participants, to ask the right questions and know what areas to focus on to improve their chance of contributing to organizational success.
This fast paced introduction course provides participants with context, concepts, knowledge, and ideas on how to lead effective and successful change initiatives, that achieve the desired and intended results.
