Change Management

Description

Ojectives

The discipline of Change Management is no longer a “nice to have”, it has become a “must” at all organizational levels. Managers, entrepreneurs, professionals are increasingly called upon to lead the change.

However, often a natural talent to drive change alone is not enough: you need to have effective methods and techniques. The course equips the change leader with methodologies and operational tools to lead effectively a change both on the entire organization and on the singular individual.

In addition, the course provides the necessary “survival kit” that every change leader must have to deal effectively with the inevitable difficulties and hardships that a process of this type involves.

Participants

CEOs, managers, leaders, HRs, and everyone who is called to lead a personal or organizational change.
