Course Overview

Most organisations now hold more data about managing digital change resistance than they can actually act on. Technology choices around change resistance are easy to reverse on paper and expensive to reverse in practice. The professional literature on this strand of digital and data-driven work converges on a small set of controls that reliably work. The level assumes working familiarity with the transformation programme but no prior formal training in managing digital change resistance. Participants gain a realistic view of what this aspect of digital and data-driven work costs and what it returns. Improvement in change resistance stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. It treats managing digital change resistance as an operating discipline and equips participants to run it as one. Participants test their assumptions about change resistance against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The programme ends where implementation begins, with this strand of digital and data-driven work broken into steps someone can start on Monday.

Expected Learning Outcomes

05

Establish monitoring that detects model or service degradation in managing digital change resistance before users report it.

06

Prepare a short, evidence-based briefing on change resistance for senior management.

07

Identify the failure points in managing digital change resistance most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

Managing digital change resistance: business case, scope and the data it depends on

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Explaining managing digital change resistance to people whose jobs it changes

  • Rank the weaknesses in managing digital change resistance by consequence rather than by ease of fixing.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates change resistance is under control.
  • Record the reasoning behind each architectural choice in managing digital change resistance.
  • Estimate compute and licensing cost for change resistance at expected and at peak load.

Session 2Reading the true cost of running change resistance

  • Specify the fallback path when managing digital change resistance is unavailable.
  • Decide which legacy process change resistance retires, and set the date.
  • Estimate the resource managing digital change resistance requires to run as designed.
  • Define acceptance criteria for change resistance in advance.
02

Change resistance: security, privacy and regulatory obligation

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1The paperwork for change resistance that is actually needed

  • Collect evidence on the present handling of managing digital change resistance before proposing changes.
  • Test the procedure for change resistance against a realistic scenario.
  • Write down the assumptions underpinning the approach to managing digital change resistance.
  • Set out how exceptions to change resistance are requested and approved.

Session 2The pilot that actually settles the argument about change resistance

  • Identify the skills the team lacks to operate managing digital change resistance independently.
  • Agree the indicators that will show whether change resistance is improving.
  • Benchmark the organisation's managing digital change resistance against comparable operations.
  • Verify that change resistance still performs when input volume doubles unexpectedly.
03

Change resistance: people, skills and the change that follows

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Choosing a supplier for change resistance without being captured

  • Define the exit route from the supplier supporting managing digital change resistance.
  • Distinguish symptoms from causes when change resistance underperforms.
  • Measure the current quality of the data feeding managing digital change resistance before assuming it is usable.
  • Assess the regulatory obligations change resistance triggers in each jurisdiction.

Session 2Proving managing digital change resistance paid for itself

  • Confirm the retention and deletion rules applied to data inside managing digital change resistance.
  • Set the metrics that will show whether change resistance is drifting from its intended behaviour.
  • Prepare the summary of managing digital change resistance that senior management will read.
  • Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of change resistance current.
04

Change resistance: governance, ethics and explainability

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Reviewing change resistance when nothing has gone wrong

  • List the data sources managing digital change resistance consumes and confirm each has a named owner.
  • Record what was learned when change resistance did not go as planned.
  • Plan how managing digital change resistance is versioned and how a bad release is rolled back.
  • Design the pilot for change resistance so that a negative result is still useful.

Session 2Where change resistance typically breaks, and why

  • Confirm that those complying with managing digital change resistance understand why it exists.
  • Identify every system change resistance must read from or write to.
  • Agree who is on call for managing digital change resistance outside working hours.
  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for change resistance.
