Change Management Programme

About this programme:

Change Management enables organisations to control the installation of new processes to improve the realisation of business results. These processes involve devising change initiatives, generating organisational buy-in, implementing the initiatives as seamlessly as possible and creating an achievable model for building continued success with future change initiatives. The programme will increase the propensity for success of people and organisations, highlighting pitfalls and challenges likely to occur and laying out a strategy for mitigating risks and monitoring progress.

Key focus areas:
