Imagine Your Change Efforts Being Wildly Successful
 Imagine the benefits to your organization if:
…you could consistently increase your results from change
…your people were completely engaged
…the cost of change went down while the speed went up
Develop your change leadership skills to make this possible.
Learn how to set up your change efforts for success from day one!
In this program, we will show you how to dramatically increase your ability to lead transformation successfully by
- Gaining insight on what is required to address the people and process dynamics of transformation
- Developing an understanding of The Change Leaders Roadmap™ process model and how to apply it to further your change project
- Learning how to set up your change for success (both, what needs to be included – and what doesn't!)
Avoid the Common Mistakes Others Make
Most organizations fail at change. In fact, research shows that “over seventy-percent of large change efforts fail to produce their expected ROI."
These failures cost organizations billions of dollars annually, damage employee morale, and weaken leaders' credibility. They also jeopardize organizations’ long-term market viability.
Benefit from 30 Years of Action Research
Because we were one of the first change management firms in existence, we have significant experience in virtually all types of change in every conceivable industry. Through this program, you benefit from our expansive research and practice, by discovering the common mistakes most other leaders make and how to avoid them. We will share with you the key actions that we have found which generate the greatest success. These insights will accelerate your change efforts, reduce their cost, and positively impact your people.
What is the price of failed change in your organization? What is at risk if your current change efforts do not succeed? Our research will enable you to avoid these failures and deliver increased results.
Conscious Transformation: Learn to See What Others Do Not See
Transformation carries with it many people and process dynamics that are different than those found in other less complex types of change.
Leaders fail when they do not see or understand these dynamics. Consequently, they rely on change and project management methodologies that are woefully inadequate. Wheels spin with activity, but they achieve little traction because the wrong methods are being applied. Is this happening to you?
Succeeding at transformation requires you to expand your worldview and develop very different skills, behaviors, and practices. In this program, you will develop these change leadership competencies by becoming conscious
to the dynamics others do not see. You will see your current reality in new ways, and be able to diagnose why you are experiencing your current challenges.
- By learning to differentiate between the three types of change occurring in your organization, you will be able to determine which change strategies and techniques work for each type, and which do not.
- You will learn how to govern your changes for clear decisions-making, efficient integration, and optimal interface with the ongoing operation.
- You will discover the underlying causes of resistance and how to resolve them.
- You will learn to see clearly what speeds and slows change, so you can ensure that your organization transforms as fast as possible.
These insights enable you to develop a transformational change strategy, and plan, that
delivers your intended business results while simultaneously transforming your culture and people.
Clarify Next Steps Using Being First’s Renown Change Leader’s Roadmap
In Leading Transformation, you are introduced to Being First’s renown nine-phase
Change Leader’s Roadmap™. By exploring the strategic guidance this process model provides, you are able to audit your own live change effort. To do this you will be
identifying what key change tasks you are doing well, which you have skipped, and which you need to add to your change plan. This clarifies your next steps, removes confusion, and produces a transformational change plan that you can implement immediately. It will further allow you to identify the specific conversations you need to have to move your change effort ahead with greater confidence.
Discover How to Turn Resistance into Commitment and Contribution
Ultimately, your ability to manage the human and cultural dynamics triggered by your change effort will determine your level of success. Usually, these dynamics show up as “resistance,” and limit the ROI you get from change.
In Leading Transformation, you will learn the human and cultural dynamics that underlie and cause resistance, and how to minimize them to increase commitment and contribution.
Discover unique approaches to stakeholder engagement and change communications, as well as the emotional transitions that all people go through as they adapt to change. And, you will learn the most important human dynamic of all: how you must
personally change—in thought, behavior and action—to be a model of the change you are asking of your organization.
Engage Your People
Yes, Leading Transformation clarifies the human dynamics in change and how to manage them successfully. However, this is not just a course on “people dynamics.”
The power of this program resides in its integrated approach: you
will learn how to manage the people dynamics
as part of the design and implementation of your organizational and technical changes.
With this approach, you are able to minimize resistance by engaging your people in the real work of change. You learn how to
involve them in planning and design, so they own implementation and continuous improvement. This allows you to get their willing contribution to the success of the change because you’ve shown how to make it
their change, and set them up to be successful within it.
