Programme aimThis programme incorporates RIPA International’s Planning for Change: A Strategic Approach, Implementing Sustainable Change and Managing People through Change: Attitudes and Behaviours into one comprehensive programme. It will equip you with all the skills you need to plan and successfully implement sustainable change within your organisation.

You will analyse strategic approaches to implementing successful change and explore how they can be applied or adapted to your organisation. There are also exercises to help you to understand key change theories and their practical implementation. Participants already involved in change programmes will be able to share their experience as well as expanding their knowledge.

Programme aimThis programme provides senior public service managers with the knowledge and tools to effectively plan and lead organisational capacity development.

Participative assessment to identify the improvements needed to strengthen organisational capacity can provide senior management with the basic framework to complete a strategy map for their organisations. This will enable them to successfully lead the ongoing process of change, reform and modernisation.

You will receive a ‘toolkit’ of the latest proven methodologies and contribute in roundtable discussions with international experts and peers. You will have the opportunity to share experiences of reforming public services, particularly organisational capacity assessment and development.

Workshop aim75% of organisational change programmes fail because the attitudes and behaviours of the affected workforce remain the same.

This workshop will show you how to develop leadership capacity for changing attitudes in the workplace so that staff can contribute fully to making the changes effective.

It includes a case study and a visit to a UK organisation to learn from leaders who have successfully changed behaviours and enhanced performance. The workshop is suitable for all managers and directors responsible for planning work and ensuring that their teams deliver improved products and services.

� Prepare your change management team and senior supporters for the challenges ahead

Workshop aimThe workshop is designed to help leaders, organisational strategists and members of change teams to identify and develop the skills and strategies that lead to successful change. It focuses on two core elements: change leadership and strategic thinking and planning. You will explore how both elements can be applied and adapted to your own organisation.

This interactive workshop includes exercises to help you understand key change models, theories and their practical implementation. You will also be able to share your experiences of organisational change with other participants and learn from each other’s approaches to development and planning.

What you will learn: � How global issues can affect every organisation � The importance of strategic planning � Why your organisation’s culture is key to future success � Different approaches and models of leadership � Leadership communication skills, such as public speaking, effective presentations and networking

You will have the opportunity to learn, develop or reinforce the skills and techniques to support the development of your overall leadership capabilities.

Where do you look for support? How do you know if you have succeeded? How do you make a real difference to the people you are employed to serve?

This workshop provides answers to these and other questions. It will show you how reforming your organisation successfully depends upon the quality of your change strategy, the processes you adopt and how you actively engage with your staff and stakeholders.
