Details

Evidence shows that over 70% of change programmes (including those based on Lean and Six Sigma) will stall, fail or just fizzle out, wasting many thousands of pounds and also creating problems for future initiatives by leaving a residue of bad feelings.

This high failure rate affects is invariably linked to combinations of problems, but at the heart are issues relating to the need to engage and maintain the enthusiasm of leaders and staff and this depends on creating an effective culture that supports the change programme.

The workshop tackles the important issues affecting the success of change programmes and how you can both understand what culture you currently have and how to start the journey to developing the culture you need to support continuous improvement.

Using a mix of presentation, discussion and experience sharing, this exciting programme will appeal to managers and directors at all levels who are interested in not only changing processes but also changing the behaviour of entire teams and organisations.

Topics covered:

  • An understanding of different types of improvement programme
  • A review of how culture is formed, shaped and changed
  • Outlining the journey to a new culture
  • Leading front-line teams to success

Why should you attend?

  • Gain an understanding of why improvement programmes fail
  • Learn about the role of Leaders at all levels in achieving success
  • Discover how to motivate, communicate and manage people during the change

Fees: Members - £95; Non-members - £190
