LEADING DURING COmpLEX change

Learn how to lead complex change and bring others with you. Improve strategic awareness and influence to help changes stick.

The hardest thing about organisational change isn’t the new system or process, but the human and cultural factors such as resistance, communication barriers, inertia, and behaviours. That takes leadership.

This programme helps you work out how to lead your team and area effectively during change. We’ll equip you with tools and techniques, and you’ll put these to practice in real life application throughout the programme.

‘Feeling uncomfortable is a natural part of stepping up and doesn’t mean I shouldn’t be doing it’

‘Thinking of our department as a business fundamentally changes how I think about the whole organisation’

Entrepreneurial thinking

Why is entpreneurial thinking important now?

The future of work will require leadership with agility, innovation and the confidence to challenge the status quo. Your organisation needs people like this to see beyond your existing processes to reimagine how work could be. It needs internal entrepreneurs, or ‘intrapreneurs’. These people can spot opportunities, understand the commercial drivers, are willing to step up to try things, even if they fail, and they understand how to influence and lead those around them to bring them along on the journey.

‘Intrapreneurship enables a continuous stream of innovation which drives new product and service development.’ (Deloitte 2015)
