Session 3: People-Centric Change for Transformation (1.5hrs)
Change is now truly a constant process and not an event and managers have to be able to drive
people-centric change due to an array of new challenges ranging from advances in technology to skills mismatches. Consequently, the last session of this workshop aims at equipping managers with the key skills required to drive change to be able to align individual employee motivations with broader organisational transformation goals. This can be achieved if Managers can reduce people’s resistance to change which may stem from a feeling of overwhelmingness or unpreparedness due to inadequate training or support, which makes them frustrated and unproductive. This can also lead to a sense of lack of proactiveness and ownership. Furthermore, this session also delves into how AI will impact people, work, and processes.
Topics to be covered:
- Drivers for change
- How people experience change (Kubler Ross Change Curve)
