Course Overview

This course is designed for professionals involved in leading or supporting change initiatives across their organisations. Whether you are working in leadership, transformation, HR, or project delivery, this programme equips you with the tools and clarity to navigate complex change with confidence and structure. Participants begin by exploring the fundamentals of change management, including how to define and diagnose the need for change using data and stakeholder insight. They learn to distinguish between surface-level symptoms and deeper systemic issues, ensuring that change efforts are focused, relevant, and aligned with organisational priorities. The course then moves into the practicalities of managing change effectively. Participants work through the full lifecycle of the change process—from design to execution—mapping roles and responsibilities and learning how to turn strategic objectives into operational action. With a strong foundation in place, the focus shifts to personal leadership during change. Participants examine the behaviours and mindset required to act as visible and credible change agents, understand common resistance patterns, and explore how moments of disruption and crisis can become pivotal leadership opportunities. The course concludes with a reflective review and structured action planning session, allowing participants to consolidate their learning and define next steps for applying key insights in their own organisational context. By the end of the programme, participants will have developed the insight, language, and frameworks to lead purposeful, well-managed change that balances strategic clarity with human understanding.
