In today’s uncertain, and ambiguous business environment the ability to drive change is a key strategic  requirement and an important leadership skill. Although many change management initiatives fail and stakeholders can be resistant to organisational changes; embracing good practice and effective methodologies can help managers to thrive through change.

The session’s facilitator, Eszter Molnar Mills, will share her experience on the subject and provide useful insights for delegates to apply within their sectors and organisations.  Previous attendees at all levels of seniority found this workshop very useful either as a detailed overview of key change and risk management best practices or as a refresher providing actionable insights for their role. The exact content of the workshop will be adapted to the level of experience and existing knowledge of participants, assessed through a pre-workshop questionnaire.

This session will cover:

• The business case for change
• The key change management mistakes to avoid
• Core change management models and approaches
• Stakeholder engagement and resistance to change
• Positive change management methodologies
• Managing in a VUCA (volatile, uncertain, and ambiguous) environment 
• Attitudes to risks, risk assessments and key risk treatment approaches 

By the end of the workshop, delegates will be able to:

• Understand the core issues of change 
• Understand successful approaches to effectively leading change
• Develop their own skills in managing change projects
• Describe actions to minimise resistance, engage and motivate people
• Consider positive and resource-based change methods
• Create a change plan including risk treatments
