Further Details
As rapid change becomes a constant for most organisations, there is increasing pressure on managers to manage and drive the process of change themselves - rather than rely on external consultants. By developing managers’ skills, organisations can rely less on expensive external consultants and trainers. They can also move quickly and act consistently if they are drawing on the skills of managers who are already in place.
The internal consulting skills taught in this workshop are generic and can be applied to a wide range of change management programmes across almost any organisation.
During this highly participative workshop, Philip Atkinson will take delegates through best practice in internal consulting. He uses a range of short case studies, questionnaires and participative exercises that focus attention on how change can be mastered.
