Manage change with compassion and confidence
Managing change is one of the most challenging activities anyone can take on – whether as a manager, a team leader, or an HR professional.
This intensive programme shares =mc’s practical consulting experience helping a wide range of large and small agencies to develop effective change programmes – from NSPCC to Royal British Legion, to Glasgow City Council and Cambridge Assessment. As part of the programme you’ll be able to work on own change programme as well as understand the key dos and don’ts.
Many people choose to have this programme in-house either as a full day or a reduced half-day course, and so it may be a while before we run it as a public training course. We have options for one-to-one support or in house group support. If that sounds right for you, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).

Yes, and also face to face. It's equally suitable for both options.

If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.
These include:
- your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
- tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
- self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course).

This programme is designed to boost your skills and confidence to manage change at a team or whole department level. Participants work through a range of practical models, tools and approaches to change, applying these to real-work changes they are experiencing. They will explore change drivers, identify why change happens and why it is necessary, and what choices they have when it comes making change happen.
They also explore the ‘softer’ side of managing change, including how to communicate change effectively and how to use emotional intelligence in change to support their teams and others
Who is the programme for?
This intensive one day programme is for individuals charged with managing change – managers who have been told change is happening, HR professionals needing to engage and support others, change agents tasked with making change happening, team leaders, or heads of department.
“This day has been very relevant to where we are as an organisation right now. Understanding how we can practically apply the Kotter model, and the different tools and approaches we have to choose from will be invaluable in tackling our current challenges.”
Jon Cole, Assistant Director, External Relations, NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC)
“I now have a better understanding on how others react to change and how to support them. The programme is great for day to day management especially with big organisational change ahead“
Karen Wyatt, Communications Manager, NIHR Coordinating Centre
