leading change

[two_third]

BASED ON THE BEST-SELLING BOOK “OUR ICEBERG IS MELTING” BY HARVARD PROF. JOHN O. KOTTER, Our Iceberg is Melting is a simple fable with profound lessons for working and living in an ever changing world. This workshop addresses the fact that, by improving their ability to change, organizations can increase their chances of success, both today and in the future. Without this ability to adapt continuously, organizations cannot thrive.

OVERVIEW

Leading Change is a facilitated workshop for leaders in all organizations who are facing the challenge of implementing change. Based on years of research from some of the world’s foremost thought-leaders, Leading Change takes a refreshingly simple but highly effective look at the challenges change presents. Delegates learn a process for leading the change journey using the 8-Step process for change developed by John Kotter. Once again, this is reinforced through activities and exercises linked to the story of penguins on a melting iceberg as well as relating the process steps to change in the delegates’ own organizations.
