The
winds of change are blowing everywhere on earth: new market
strategies to satisfy the customers’ needs are required. Increasing
competition due to internationalisation has to be faced as well
as the shortage of resources. Moreover, the use new information
technologies sometimes cause tremendous difficulties regarding
the workforce’s receptivity. Both external and internal issues
force organisations to adjust their structures and their processes.
But
how to change if an organisation experiences difficulties in
keeping up? How do people living within the organization look
at change: to which degree is the corporate culture and are
working groups able to cope with it?
95%
of all organisations are caught up in normal everyday life work.
Only if change seems to be inevitable, they try to react so
to speak “just in time”. Often employing a mere top-down approach,
they do not anticipate and plan change including bottom-up perspectives
from internal and external customers.
The
course introduces to change management from a practical point
of view to help future managers who are concerned with change
to become people involved in the effort to change. Accordingly,
the participants become sensitive to costs triggered by traditional
change behaviour. The course will shed light on an alternative
by constructively and trustfully combining top-down and bottom-up
approaches.
Since
professional teamwork is one of the clues to modern change management,
participants work together in sub-teams to define concrete agenda
for practical work. The course will end up focussing on goal
agreements as a must and the ultimate consequence of modern
change management.
