Change

“It is a terrible thing to look over your shoulder when you are trying to lead change – and find no-one there”.

Franklin D Roosevelt .  

 

Change

Organisational change can be a challenge to navigate – both for leaders and their teams – yet it is an ongoing and iterative process in most organisations.

At Personal Best, we believe the best way to deal with change is to create an environment of transparency and communication, removing the mystery and fear and helping people to understand what is happening, why and how that affects them.

We offer both change management consulting where we partner with clients to enable them to successfully facilitate change, and change management learning programs.

1. Articulate context

2. Define expectations

5. Embed the change

Change workshops provide an opportunity to create a consensus for a client’s new direction and provide people with the competence to implement a change.

Our change programs provide tools for people to:

1. Lead change

2. Understand change
