Mastering Change

Thursday, February 12, 2009, 1:00pm
Capital Hill Hotel Suites, 88 Albert Street, Tupper Room

Are big changes in store for your organisation? Project Management is not enough to ensure success. Statistics show that more than 70% of major change initiatives fail to reach their objectives. Projects often take longer to implement than expected and return on investment is never realized, making senior management question the validity of future investment. Outsourcing, downsizing, organizational restructuring, implementation of major systems and other significant changes need to be looked at in a new light. Learn how to ensure success by understanding how change affects people and incorporating proven Change Management principles into your project plan.

Participants in this workshop will:

• Understand why a Change Management approach is critical to project success
• Learn how to sell a Change Management approach to senior management
• Receive Change Management toolkits developed by The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (UK), which they can immediately put to use in their home organisations
• Gain hands-on experience working with selected tools

When: Thursday, February 12, 2009, from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
Where: Capital Hill Hotel Suites, 88 Albert Street, Tupper Room
