Effective Change ManagementEssential Skills for the Successful Implementation of Change Initiatives
As the pace of change in corporate Australia accelerates, effective change agents are increasingly sought-after. Organisations rely on people who can lead and inspire others to implement initiatives smoothly and successfully. Change management is an essential skill for anyone in a management role. Being a strong and effective leader means being an effective change agent. This two-day short course at the University of Adelaide will explore change from three interrelated perspectives:
The focus will be on the key skills involved in managing change. These skills revolve around communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, team skills, networking and process skills. You will gain insights into the reasons why people resist change and you will learn how to apply simple, but powerful interpersonal influencing techniques to overcome that resistance. You will acquire confidence in your ability to manage change constructively to achieve desired performance outcomes. In short, this course will help you become a better, more highly skilled and resourceful change agent.
