Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on internal change coalitions for senior management.
Building Supportive Change Coalitions Inside the Organisation
A concise, decision-focused programme covering internal change coalitions end to end.
Course Overview
A process for internal change coalitions that managers quietly work around has already failed. People decide what the people management and development discipline really means by watching who gets promoted. It is designed for mixed groups, so that this aspect of people management and development is examined from more than one functional angle. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about internal change coalitions. Mature organisations treat the wider people management and development agenda as a standing capability rather than a project that finishes. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of this strand of people management and development and prepares them for it. Ambition around internal change coalitions outruns capacity unless the sequencing is deliberate. The course gives participants a defensible structure for the people management and development capability and the judgement to adapt it. The programme closes with an action plan for this area of people management and development that each participant writes for their own organisation.
