| Course duration | 2 Days |
| Course cost | Call to enquire |
| Course outline |
The major benefit of initiating projects is to accelerate the change process in achieving the strategic aims of the organisation and to drive shareholder value. Most organisations have difficulty in realising these benefits due to the amount of change saturation which takes place within the environment. As a result, in today’s projects it isn’t enough to meet the three traditional criteria of cost, quality and schedule. To meet the expectations of your stakeholders you need to reach outside of your project team and change the way people work, think or act in order to realise the business benefits. Although the business objectives and benefits realisation are the responsibility of the Line of Business, the organisation often looks at the project team to facilitate the change process. Through knowledge, comprehension and control, one is able to adapt to changes, but also to initiate and promote them. This training provides the learner with two concentrated days of model-based and application-based methodologies that will permit the learner to lead and ensure successful change within the performing organisation. Change, when planned carefully, shows managerial confidence and empowerment as well as competitive strength in the market place. This course does not relate to management of scope in a project or technical items. The focus is on the management of the end user expectations, awareness, and preparedness to successfully implement and operationalise the project~s product. Within the context of this course we will address a toolbox for people charged with the responsibility to implement people change management on a project. Any successful project within an organisation has implications for its employees, and therefore how to change is coordinated and managed is a critical success factor.

How much of what you’ve done do you remember? We hear and forget, see and go on, finish something and start on the next task. What causes us to remember? Being a trainer is an art, but it involves more than just instruction. Any of us can find ourselves in situations where we have to train others. And even though you don’t have any professional instructor training, you are expected to teach others in a way that has a lasting impact. Being good at what you do isn’t the same thing as being able to pass on your knowledge to others. That requires training and understanding. And those are things that anybody can learn. The most important thing isn’t what you teach, but what students learn. To truly live up to this, we have to revise our view of the trainer’s role. We will explore the concept of expertise, breaking it down into different kinds of knowledge. We will select a broad array of methods to activate and involve our students – and to reach our goals in a way that most effectively utilises the resources at our disposal. We will practice conducting short, intensive mini-training sessions – and receive coaching feedback. We will learn to measure what the student has learned. We will find out how to evaluate in order to ensure that our efforts have made an impact. To put it in a nutshell, we will learn to master the art of training.
