Leading High Velocity Change

Issues

Every company in the world today is experiencing change and/or transition at some level. In most cases every department in an organization is affected. For many employees their perception of “unwanted, unnecessary or too much change” lead to negativity, criticism, stress, fatigue and sometimes hopelessness. Transition resistance can mean higher costs, more problems and decreased productivity. The challenge of balancing the motivation and productivity of employees against the implementation of today’s successful transition can be a difficult task for even the best manager.

Focus

In the current shifting landscape of change and transition it has become increasingly important that organizations learn to leverage its people resource to the highest levels of productivity and success. The true opportunity exists in management’s ability to create a culture of “adaptability” that will in turn:

  • Improve employee attitudes
  • Increase productivity during any transition
  • Give confidence to managers initiating change
  • Improve communication and involvement
  • Create an environment of opportunity and productivity
  • Instill hope for the future in every employee

Solution

Learning Outsource Group provides this one-day, highly interactive and motivational workshop that identifies the specific attributes and behaviors of adaptability and outlines the proven and practical processes for leading successful transitions.

Summary

Effectively leading “High Velocity Change” can and will help any organization build and sustain competitive advantage. Strategy without tactical implementation success has many implications. We believe that the processes learned in this course are more explicit – and more usable – than the more generalized prescriptions outlined in so many programs on change management. Although we think in generalities, we live in details. Leading High Velocity Change captures the crucial details that make the difference.
