Mastery of Change:
Thriving in Uncertain Times

Change is a constant in today’s organizations. Organizational change may be stimulated in many ways: by new ownership, market forces, technological innovation, as well as economic, social, and political trends. The challenge is how to implement the change with minimal resistance and downtime.

The Mastery of Change offers sophisticated tools for leaders and managers who are responsible for the successful implementation of change. This two-day program is ideal for organizations anticipating or experiencing one or more major changes. It provides a practical opportunity for participants to develop a change implementation plan as a group or individually. The program creates a forum in which real change issues are discussed and real planning takes place.

Participants will:

• Identify the individual and organizational dynamics involved in change and transition
• Distinguish between the strategic issues involved in change and the tactical issues involved in transition, and develop a plan for both
• Recognize and deal with the impact of change and transition on remote and non-obvious systems as well as on the system which is the target of change
• Identify and communicate effectively with stakeholders and develop broad ownership of the change process
• Help stakeholders see a positive vision of the ideal result of a change and empower them to contribute to that result
• Design an implementation process and choose appropriate interventions to move things along
• Describe and manage their own and others’ resistance to change

Who Should Participate?

Mid-level to senior managers who are responsible for implementing change in their organization, whether or not they initiated the change.
