Understanding Change and Managing Transition
When organizations decide to change course, people are often unsure how to implement a new
strategic direction. Understanding Change and Managing Transition is designed to help leaders
plan change efforts and manage people who are affected by transition. This program helps
participants gain an understanding of their organizational change and how to best manage
transition with their team members.
The words "change" and "transition" are often used interchangeably, but they require different
approaches from management. Change is comprised of external factors that affect individuals,
such as restructuring, new corporate initiatives or cost-cutting moves. Transition is the
reaction to change at a personal level, including uncertainty, confusion and fear. Participants
in this program are taken through a series of conceptual models, exercises and application
discussions to help them understand the nature of change and create a "transition map" tool to
plan the change process.
This is a one- to two-day course designed for managers responsible for implementing change in an
organization.
