Change Management - Understanding Change

While many people find it difficult to deal with change in the workplace, the concept of continuous improvement should be embraced and used for the growth of any organisation.  And continuous improvement almost always requires some form of change to internal systems and processes that people have become comfortable with.  An organisation that plans and prepares for change is better able to overcome these challenges and implement improvements as required.

Internal changes should be implemented after the creation of the new strategy or system, however most organisations and/or employees are not prepared for internal changes to policies or external strategies. Hence the requirement for change management training is commonplace in most industries.

The PD Training Change Management Training Course provides participants with training and development in each step of the change process including the planning and preparation stages and the communication and implementation stages. Being prepared for the changes allows your organisation to grow steadily in spite of the potential pushback by staff.  If everyone is included in the change process, the staff will experience much less frustration, stress, attrition, etc.

This practical, professional development training course in Change Management is available now throughout Australia, including Brisbane, Sydney,, Melbourne, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

"Charlene is a fantastic facilitator - her demeanour is warm and caring and she quickly made us feel comfortable in the learning environment. Her knowledge of the course content and ability to relate this to her own experiences/our current organisation's ongoings was extremely helpful and a credit to her. The content was relevant to what we currently need within out organisation, and while some of the manual wasn't covered - the critical components which will assist us to make immediate improvements to our change management processes were. The remaining components of the manual are helpful and I've enjoyed reading the content - which is presented well and is easy to relate to."

Jack made the content incredibly relatable to our roles within our separate organisations through the examples that we gave.

The support staff were very polite and helpful and made the whole day a great experience. Thank you for the chance to train with your organisation, it was a great day.

Change is a constant in many of our lives. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas and methods often change, which affects the way we perform our daily tasks and live our lives. This Change Management workshop will give any leader the tools to implement changes more smoothly and to have those changes better accepted. This workshop will also give all participants an understanding of how change is implemented and some tools for managing staff's reactions to change.

 

Change Management Training is important in today’s professional world as organisational change is more the norm rather than the exception. More than ever, work roles and organisations are in a state of flux with changes in structure, re-deployment, return to work, redundancy and personal crisis. Hence it is important to understand the change management process and learn some important change management tools.

 

Change takes place on three different levels:

  • the Individual
  • the Team
  • the Organisation

 

Organisational change management has to happen at all three levels, as they are directly interrelated.

 

This Change Management Training Program is geared toward teaching the change management process as well as providing you with some change management tools and principles that can support managers, consultants and other change facilitators to fulfil their mission; to initiate and sustain change/improvement processes.

In-House Training - We’ll focus on what matters most to you and tailor to your context


Face-to-Face, Live Online, or Hybrid Class Tailored to Your Needs

When you want a tailored learning experience targeting exactly what you want without bringing everyone physically together, the best choice is a Live Online Class run by PDT.

We tailor the content and activities to be specific to your current needs and the needs of the people and run the course in our usual activity-based workshop style training, however, the participants can all be offsite, or some can be in the room with others offsite.

Unless you have a preferred tools we use 'Zoom for Education' that includes enhanced collaboration features such as One-click content sharing, real-time co-annotation (people can work together in activity files), and digital whiteboarding, we also include things like live polls and group chats so you virtually have the same collaborative learning experience of attending a course in a room with other people.

live online & hybrid

We have delivered these 100's (if not 1000's) of times, and get great outcomes. We achieve great outcomes because we keep our learner centric approach - just because it’s delivered through a screen to some or all participants doesn’t mean it needs to be less tailored or less personalised.

You still have an expert trainer who talks to you prior to the session and tailors the delivery to use your terminology, ensure activities are relevant and directly applicable and ensures an engaging learning experience that provide people with skills and techniques they can apply the very next day.

A hybrid class is with some people connecting online, and some people physically together in the same room.
