    ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

    Change Leadership: Inspiring and Guiding Organizational Transformation

    Introducing the Change Leadership: Inspiring and Guiding Organizational Transformation Program. Here is an opportunity to unlock your potential as an effective leader in a changing world!

    In today's fast-paced business landscape, organizations are constantly striving for improvement and efficiency through process enhancements, structural changes, and system upgrades. However, many change initiatives fall short of their objectives, often due to a lack of skills among managers driving the change. While leadership development is commonly addressed, the critical aspect of change management training is often overlooked, especially for middle managers who play a crucial role in implementing and sustaining change.

    In this program, we firmly believe that successful change programs require competent managers at every level who possess a solid understanding of both leadership and change management concepts, tools, and techniques. By integrating leadership development and change management training, organizations can significantly enhance their effectiveness. Additionally, managers who undergo such training are more likely to excel in their managerial tasks, successfully manage change, and advance in their careers.

    Our program is designed to provide you with comprehensive insights into leadership and change management theories and their practical applications. We emphasize learning not only knowledge but also skills and values, making the experience highly interactive and reflective. Through various assessments and reflections, you will have the opportunity to explore your own leadership style and identify specific areas for improvement.

    Since its inception in 2016 as the pioneering program in India to cover both Leadership and Change Management, we have successfully completed nine batches, consisting of over a thousand mid-to-senior professionals with an average work experience of 16 years. The feedback from our participants has been overwhelmingly positive, making this program an immensely enriching experience.

    METHODOLOGY

    This program is designed with a pedagogical approach that emphasizes active participation, reflection, and collaborative learning. We firmly believe that the best methodology for effective learning involves creating opportunities for participants to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from each other’s experiences, and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. To achieve this, we have incorporated the following key elements into the program:

     

    Case Discussions: Real-world case studies will be used to explore and analyze various leadership and change management challenges. Through lively discussions facilitated by expert faculty, participants will gain insights into different perspectives, approaches, and best practices.

     

    Group Work: Collaborative group activities and projects will be assigned to foster teamwork and encourage participants to learn from one another (peer learning). By working together, sharing experiences, and tackling complex scenarios, participants will deepen their understanding of leadership and change management principles.

     

    Online Simulation by Harvard: As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an online simulation developed by Harvard Business School. This simulation will provide a realistic virtual environment where participants can apply their leadership and change management skills, make strategic decisions, and experience the consequences of their actions.


    By incorporating these pedagogical methods, we aim to create a rich and interactive learning experience that goes beyond traditional classroom lectures. Participants will actively engage in thought-provoking discussions, gain practical insights, and develop the necessary skills to address real-world leadership and change management challenges.

Additionally, they need to recognize and address power dynamics that may emerge during the change process, ensuring smooth implementation and minimizing potential disruptions.

It is crucial for managers in senior roles to understand how to effectively engage with consultants, leverage their expertise, and align their strategies with organizational goals.
