Managing Change: A 20/20 MDS® Workshop Kit

Managing Change: A 20/20 MDS® Workshop Kit
You will see in the module that some organizations can plan long-term change, with clear objectives and outcomes. Others have to cope with incremental change, perhaps with less clear outcomes, but even here the change has to be recognized, monitored and planned as a process. If change happens to you as a result of external pressures then you are in the hands of these forces.

As a manager you have to predict, make and manage changes or change will manage you. This is a constant challenge. People find change uncomfortable and threatening, and if you do not manage the process it becomes even more difficult as the pressures build up and reactions set in. As one saying goes:

                         ‘People do not mind change - what they mind is being changed.’

This module will help you understand and apply the principles of change as a means of effectively managing the improvements that you have to make as part of your normal work role.

The 20-20 MDS® Workshop Course Packs for trainers and coaches provide a fully scripted PowerPoint presentation on the topic which can be used as-is or tailored as much as necessary to meet participant needs.   Also provided is a participant workbook which includes key materials from the presentation, and provides space for attendees to write their reflections, notes on exercises, discussion summaries and more.   

Note, when you purchase a Workshop Kit, you are provided with an editable PowerPoint file which you may save, adapt and reuse over and over.  In addition, once you have placed the Workshop Kit in your shopping cart, a participant workbook will be added to your cart at no charge, which you may freely copy.
