Organizational change is not easy.  Oftentimes it has challenges and is incumbent on strategic, thoughtful leadership. How you navigate change and support others to move through it is critical. 

This unique learning environment is intentionally designed to respond to your experience and help non-profit, community-based, and social purpose leaders, managers, and organizations navigate challenges, change, and opportunity successfully. You’ll gain tools to help strengthen your teams and encourage problem solving and creativity, so that you can collectively navigate and respond to innovation, challenges and current work priorities.

Learning Objectives:

Arrive with a change issue in hand, apply leading change management principles, approaches and frameworks and leave with an action plan that will energize and best support your teams and stakeholders so together your vision for change can be achieved.  

Module 1 (7 hours):

  • Understand organizational change through the Change Curve and Bridges Transition Model;
  • Analyze your change in more detail to better inform your problem solving and response(s);
  • Develop the skills and script to participate in a change conversation based on principles of effective communication; and
  • Explore the essential skills of a change leader, assess your own strengths and weaknesses and commit to actions or strategies to improve your capacity to lead through change.

Module 2 (7 hours):

  • Examine how to most effectively navigate uncertainty and ambivalence;
  • Embed resilience within your team(s) and your own leadership style;
  • Explore the context of the change to leverage strengths and opportunities and mitigate limitations, and threats; 
  • Begin to map out an action plan that helps you and your stakeholders to intentionally and strategically navigate change; and
  • Reflect on the posture you want to embody as a change leader

For whom: For those supporting employees and/or partners through change or overseeing organizational change and looking to build a proactive response and plan through the transition.
