Once a change project has been decided upon, there are many challenges involved in overseeing its implementation, including conflicting stakeholder interests and other environmental pressures.

To ensure the project’s success, it is important to have an agile planning process that is responsive to the needs of different stakeholders and to engage with individuals and teams in a way that enables high performance.

This training programme will support you to develop the skills needed to implement change and manage people through the process. It explores how organisations can develop plans to monitor and control progress, how to anticipate and deal with the many people issues that arise in the implementation phase, and how to deliver the benefits of the change project.

This is week two of The Strategic Change Management Toolkit.
