Communicate the reasoning behind multi-phase transformation programmes, not only the conclusion.
Successfully Leading Multi-Phase Organisational Transformation Programmes
An applied course in multi-phase transformation programmes built around the decisions practitioners actually face.
Course Overview
Managers are promoted for competence and then judged on multi-phase transformation programmes, which nobody trained them for. Most failures in this part of organisational leadership trace back to a conversation someone avoided having. They acquire practical criteria for judging when the organisational leadership discipline is working and when it is only appearing to. The programme takes participants through multi-phase transformation programmes end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The level assumes working familiarity with the management team but no prior formal training in this part of organisational leadership. Improvement in the wider organisational leadership agenda stalls when it depends on one capable individual rather than a defined method. Participants apply multi-phase transformation programmes to their own management team throughout, so the output is directly usable. Where the organisational leadership capability is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for this area of organisational leadership survives a hostile question.
