Change management is a critical strategic task in any organization. In most cases, leaders are the ones responsible for the formulation and implementation of change. In the last decade, statistics have shown that almost 80% of change projects do not succeed. Research has shown that most change management projects do not attain the desired results and organizations look for answers outside as to why they failed.
To respond to change today, many organizations have invested heavily in capital-intensive expenditures such as new equipment and technology in the hope that these will reduce cost and increase productivity. They have had these hopes because they have believed the slick presentations provided by consultants and sales representatives which promise positive results over-night. Alternatively, they have adhered to a century-old belief, which has since been largely debunked, that has said that through technological innovation alone survival and prosperity will be assured. Unfortunately, the prevailing belief is that the shiny new thing is more “appealing” and easy to sell to customers who are looking for the one thing that will solve all their profitability and survivability issues.
Nonetheless, much of the recent academic research has shown that it is not the “hard” technology acquisitions by themselves that guide organizational success, but the integration of these assets into organizational change management processes that elevate the importance of the human system. It is the integration that really makes the difference.
This program focuses on the human aspect of change management and helps bring to fore the critical human behaviours so important for a successful transition.
