Leading effective change in organizations: Personal strategies for navigating change

Organizations often encounter several challenges when implementing change initiatives as they respond to the key trends impacting their industry and the workplace at large, for example adoption of Digital, Analytics and AI.  Employee and stakeholder resistance, stemming from fear or uncertainty, can impede progress. Misalignment among leadership may result in inconsistent messaging, causing confusion. Additionally, insufficient communication can lead to misunderstandings and diminish buy-in. Cultural barriers within the organization might obstruct the adoption of new processes or behaviours. Furthermore, constraints in resources—such as limited time, budget, or skills—can hinder effective change implementation. This training programme equips managers and HR professionals to lead change effectively.
