Overview

Few can doubt that the pace and complexity of organizational change seem to accelerate without end.

As a result, those who understand the change process, and have sound and relevant skills, become increasingly valuable organizational resources. But although it is widely recognized that such skills as consultation, facilitation, and change leadership are incredibly useful, they are sometimes misunderstood, or misapplied.

These are all best understood as something much more than roles in organizational live. High quality organizational change consultation, facilitation and leadership should be something far beyond mere "advice giving." Rather, these are all complex relationships that can strengthen the skills and contributions of those who are their beneficiaries. In that sense, and at their best, these organizational responsibilities are all forms of education.

All too often however, those who wish to contribute to successful organizational change become adjunct managers of the situations in which they attempt to provide assistance. As a result, they are blamed if things go wrong, while their contributions are not fully appreciated when they do result in success. Sometimes, people who have these responsibilities take their partners’ successes or failures "personally." But, to do so is to diminish the likelihood of their own success as contributors to the effort of productive change.

When properly applied, the skills of organizational change can have a profound beneficial effect on the life of any organization.

Whatever their primary professional identity, consultants, managers, teachers, professional colleagues, even parents and friends can successfully use the concepts, methods, and principles they will learn in this program.

This six-day program will provide its participants the opportunity to enhance their understanding of those relationships that can contribute to successful change efforts in organizations of any size. Our program has skill development as its principle goal, so, participants will practice, developing the skills that will make their efforts of organizational change much more successful.

Some Goals

·  Participants will learn new and very useful definitions of consulting.

·  They will learn about the underlying psychology of successful change related partnerships, and productive behaviors that can be built upon that knowledge.

·  They will learn about the warning signs that indicate that a change effort is headed for failure, and the ways in which they can avoid these common problems.

·  They will learn about the variety of organizational change approaches that are widely used today. They will be able to compare, and contrast such change approaches so that they can operate from a foundation that is the best expression of their skills, experience, and goals.

·  Program participants will have the opportunity to extend their skills through practice in situations that are familiar to them, and also in settings that are new. As a result, they will come to more fully understand the methodological and psychological principles that are the basis for highly skilled advocates in organizational change efforts.
