And so, when ICM offers skill development for leaders engaged in driving change or transition, we emphasize two things: the personal, individual aspect and the leader’s own phase of transition – because depending on where you are in the transition, different skills will be required.
ICM’s Change Management Skills Development program offers:
- Theory about change management;
- Tools that will allow you to manage change more effectively (for example, force field analysis, change readiness assessments, stakeholder analysis tools);
- Case studies and role play tailor-made to deal with specific challenges, especially individual communication skills.
This is a participative, interactive program that will engage you in a process of discovering theory about change, practicing skills, and giving and receiving feedback at every step of the process. The program includes several auto-diagnostics and can include a web-based team barometer as a pre-seminar assessment because successful change is the fruit of motivated and close-knit teams, going beyond individual engagement.
