The ability to manage change is one of the most critical competencies expected from every manager and staff member.
Yet, despite its importance, a stark reality remains. Research consistently shows that roughly 70% of all change efforts in organisations fail.
Think about that. Seven out of ten initiatives, whether a new software rollout or a strategic shift, stumble, stall, or fail completely. The cost is not just financial. It is measured in lost time, eroded morale, and cynicism towards the next "big thing."
Why does this happen? Often, it is not because the change itself was not needed. It is because we focus solely on the what and neglect the how. We focus on the goal, but not the human and procedural elements of making change stick.
Organisations do not need bystanders to change. They need active, equipped champions. They need people who know what needs to be done to make change happen and can work with others to get results.
How do we move from being part of the 70% who struggle to the 30% who succeed?
The Institute of Public Administration has designed a solution focused, one day workshop to provide that answer. Our Managing Change course is built to turn the daunting prospect of change into a manageable and successful process.
This is not a theoretical seminar. It is a practical workshop that provides a tangible toolkit.
In this intensive day, you will learn how to:
Diagnose and overcome resistance by understanding the root causes of pushback.
Apply proven change models to structure your initiatives for greater impact.
Communicate for buy in, learning how to articulate a vision that inspires your team.
Build a practical action plan that you can immediately apply in your organisation.
Engage stakeholders effectively to build the coalitions necessary to sustain change.

Team Leaders and Supervisors
Project and Programme Managers
Middle Managers
HR and Organisational Development Professionals
Any staff member playing a key role in implementing new systems or processes
