What is Change Management?
Global competition brings change.
Mergers & Acquisitions bring change.
New governmental statutes and regulatory directives bring change.
Do you understand the psychology, the mechanisms and the options for helping staff cope with change and establish new ways of working so that change is effective?
Our accredited courses help you understand different individuals' fear of change and how to support them through it. They describe how to put effective teams together even when the only resources that you've got is what you've got - but perhaps with a little help from your friends!
As the developed world moves from a production based to a service based economy you need to know the characteristics of different organisational structures, how they work and the issues that you will face as you try to help them change. You will study the characteristics of 4 different models of organisations but more importantly we will take you through the key issues to address as you lead change.
If you need help right now to bring about change SCOLL Methods will supply a friend - consultant with the skills and experience to bring you through.
PRINCIPLES of Change Management course information
If you are responsible for or involved in a change programme, these courses will provide you with underpinning knowledge of the behavioral issues associated with managing change in organisation life, and of many key models and tools used by practitioners to address these issues effectively.
The APMG syllabus is designed as four 1-day modules, with one 68-question multiple-choice examination at the end of the four modules:
- Module 1: IC - Individual Change
- Module 2: TC - Team Change
- Module 3: OC - Organisational Change
- Module 4: CL - Change Leadership
Our public courses offer the four modules as two 2-day course programmes within the same week, with "Change 1" (Monday-Tuesday) covering the Individual Change and Team Change modules, and "Change 2" (Wednesday-Thursday) covering Organisational Change and Change Leadership. Although it is possible to take the courses independently, our recommendation is that they are taken in sequence. The APMG examination covering all four modules is offered as an option at the end of the Thursday programme.
This course has been accredited by the APMG who are the examining body for Change Management and responsible for all aspects of the provision of exams including setting, marking, feedback and appeals. Scoll Methods, as an accredited training organisation, acts as their agent in providing administrative facilities.
All our Change Management training is run in partnership with Richard Smith Associates, a consultancy offering over 25 years' experience in this field, and who are therefore able to tailor training to meet the varied specific needs of individual clients. They are also able to provide in-depth consultancy support where required. Please contact us to discuss this.
