The external environment has become increasingly turbulent and uncertain. Many organisations are pressured to restructure; changing their priorities, and developing new products and services. Another issue is that change initiatives often cost more, take longer and achieve less than originally intended.

In RSM’s 3-day course you will learn about the complexity and messiness of change, how to deal with apathy and resistance from your wo-workers and how to develop and practice the skills that you need to effectively deal with the human side of change.
Your organisation can be at an advantage if your workforce can adjust to uncertain environments. You don't need to be a change manager, in order to learn how to lead change. Learn to understand and diagnose change, lead change, and implement change - by learning more about the change management process.
In this three-day programme Dr Barbara Banda, a change expert with business and academic experience, will teach you how to manage uncertainty and to make it easier for your staff to adapt to change. This programme on leading and managing change, will bring you hands-on knowledge about the complexity and messiness of change, and how to lead it effectively. It provides practical tools and theoretical foundations, as well as a confidential and safe forum for you to learn and exchange experiences.
You are a manager who is involved in driving change or innovation within your organisation. You are, for example, a team leader or project manager looking for the tools and frameworks on how to lead change. If you are responsible for managing process improvement initiatives that require effective organisation and communication to succeed, you will also find this course useful.
By being aware of the changes and processes that my organisation and teams are dealing with, I can respond better and lead more effectively. The three days of RSM’s ‘Leading Change’ course just flew by. You learn how to drive people to take action. The programme’s combination of theory and practical application mean you can use it immediately. The energy and knowledge of the teacher and interacting with other programmes were great. I chose Leading Change as part of RSM’s diploma programme, which I joined because the modules will expand my knowledge and skills as a manager. It gives my career a boost for the future.
