Planning Change in the Workplace – ILM

Change management is a specialist process. Many good ideas and new ways of working are never implemented because management fail to understand the change-management process. Change can be very frightening for some people and they resist even the smallest changes.

On the other hand many people welcome change – so long as they understand it and see the benefits it can bring them as individuals. Without change we die as our competitiors move forward in a flexible and customer-focused way.

Key topics include:

The benefits of innovation and change for the organisation
Identifying the barriers to change and innovation in the workplace Practical ways of overcoming barriers
Communication in successful implementation
Human and financial effects of change on people, departments and the organisation
