Training for managers at your workplace, in change management.

Change is constant in modern organizations, yet research suggests that up to 70% of change initiatives fail to achieve their objectives.

The difference often lies not in the quality of the change itself, but in how well leaders guide their people through the transition.

We know that many change efforts stumble in predictable ways. You might have already encountered these scenarios:

  • ambitious transformation projects that generate more resistance than results,

  • changes announced with fanfare but implemented half-heartedly, or

  • teams suffering from 'change fatigue' after multiple initiatives.

Even small changes can falter if leaders don't understand how to build and maintain commitment.

This practical change management training equips your managers with both the understanding and tools to lead change effectively. Rather than simply pushing through change from above, participants learn to recognize how change affects people's comfort levels and what support different team members need at each stage of the change curve. They'll understand why seemingly positive changes can still trigger resistance, and how to move people from grudging compliance to genuine commitment.

What makes this leading change course particularly valuable is its focus on the human side of change management. Your managers will learn to identify where their team members are on the change curve - from initial shock and denial through to integration - and how to provide appropriate support at each stage. The course introduces the Cs of change management, a practical framework for maintaining momentum and engagement throughout the change process.

We find that many managers focus primarily on the technical aspects of change while underestimating the emotional journey their teams need to navigate. This course helps leaders understand both aspects, combining clear change communication strategies with emotional intelligence and empathy.

By investing in change management training, you're building organizational resilience. Managers who understand change leadership create environments where both large transformations and small improvements can succeed. Their teams become more adaptable, more innovative, and better equipped to embrace new opportunities.

Most importantly, this course helps transform change from something that happens to people into something people actively help shape. When handled well, change initiatives can energize teams, spark innovation, and create stronger, more agile organizations. In an era where the ability to adapt quickly is crucial for survival, these skills have never been more valuable.

Why book this training session?

🧑🏻‍💼 Move forward fearlessly

Sometimes a fear of change - or the conflict it might create - can lead to an unhealthy bias for maintaining the status quo, even when it isn’t working anymore. By empowering attendees to embrace change and give them the confidence to navigate it, managers are more prepared to shake things up and make necessary adjustments whenever needed.

🤝 Keep morale high

As individuals within a team face change, reactions and responses are likely to be different, and evolve through different phases over time.

This bitesize training course gives managers the capacity to identify these differing phases, and respond with the appropriate and support.

💨 Prepare for changes ahead

Change is a constant, of course, but there’s no doubt the winds of change blow harder at some times of others.

So this course is a popular choice for organisations introducing new ways of working, that are restructuring their operations, or otherwise embarking on a course of action that requires widespread change.
