Course Description

Change: profound, continuous and irresistible change has become the one constant factor that we all have to manage at work.

We live in a world of global, information technology-driven organisations in which structures, processes and relationships will evolve and alter at a bewildering rate. Traditional expectations and practices will no longer be suitable. New corporate and individual strategies will emerge to help us cope.

During difficult times managers/leaders need to get closer to their team, to support them, nurture them, coach and mentor them and ultimately to ensure they reach their targets/KPI’s The programme will run over 5 days, and is split as days 1 and 2, with a 4 week gap followed by days 3, 4, and 5.

Delegates will complete a PRISM profiler prior to attending the programme with a 15 minute telephone consultation, which will give them and the trainers a clear understanding of their current strengths and development areas.

Upon completion of the 5 day programme delegates will receive three one-to-one coaching sessions back in the workplace to ensure the knowledge gained is successfully transferred into the workplace.

Three months after completion of the programme the delegates will present back to their Senior Leadership Team and to the trainers on the measurable outcomes of their ROI projects and how they have improved within their roles.

They will also complete their second PRISM profiler to look at the changes they have made to their working styles.

Customisation

For on-site courses (i.e. at your premises), we are more than happy to tailor the course agenda to suit your exact requirements. In many cases, we are able to build your in-house standards and naming conventions into the delivered course.
