Change Management

How you can facilitate change faster, easier and smoother

“You can’t make an omelet without breaking eggs.” Many of us today find that this adage reflects what is happening in companies today. Businesses are continually making new omelettes and breaking more and more eggs. How to deal with the pieces is not the question. The question is: How can employees at all levels take charge of change – acting instead of reacting – on a personal and professional level? 

Change Management used to be a course that managers were sent to when an organization was about to go into a change process. However change has become so frequent that the ability to initiate, facilitate and stabilize change is now a basic skill set that managers on all levels need to master. How do you deal with change? How do you deal with others while being in a change process?

This highly interactive and experiential course aims to support you in finding answers to your individual change questions. We combine theory with real-life examples and apply all learnings to your real-life change case. You will leave your Comfort Zone and enter the Stretch Zone of Change, where you confidently face and master your change challenges.
You will get tools and experiences that will allow you to go through changes as well as take others along. Faster, easier and smoother.



You will…

  • Reflect on the driving forces behind change and their significance for your case
  • Experience the Change Curve: how people react to change and what you can do to lead yourself and others through change processes

Change happens, that is for sure, and not just in our modern, 21st century era. It seems that the stress of the new affects most people in every age. So the trick is not to resist it, but to go with it. The real problem for the creative person is getting over the resistance of those who don’t want to change.
