Managing Change Program
The University is engaged in significant organisational reform which will impact all of us in one way or another. Organisational change is not just about work processes, systems, structure or strategy, it is also an emotional and psychological journey that will be different for each individual. Whilst change may seem daunting, it can also bring great opportunities. An integrated suite of programs is offered to support supervisors and staff navigate their way through the change process. These focus on enhancing self-awareness, skill building, providing different perspectives and developing techniques and strategies to effectively manage ourselves through the change.
Enabling the Change Journey
This workshop will assist supervisors to understand and articulate their leadership perspective to inspire a sense of purpose and direction for their team, developing a shared understanding of what needs to be achieved. It will assist them to recognise the stage of change their people are currently at and to develop positive strategies to support their team to engage with the changes and the new environment.
