Overview/Description
Change is one of the few things that are almost assured in your working life, regardless of the nature of your business or your position. Times change, and organizations as well as work processes must change with them. Even though this is the case, change is challenging – and if it's not done right, it might not have the impact you envision. In this course, you will learn methods to use in gathering success factors from the sponsors and owners of the change initiative, build skills in developing initial statements of scope to support change initiatives, learn how to identify key stakeholders and stakeholder groups who must change and those who must be considered for inclusion to achieve desired change, and learn how to assess the Three Keys to Sustainable Change – discomfort, vision, and skills.
