Program overview

Leading Organizational Transition is a Train-The-Trainer Program designed for professionals who have a background or experience in change management. The curriculum for the Leading Organiza-tional Transition: Train-The-Trainer Program is based on The Three-Phase Transition Model™.

Transition is a three-phase process that individuals experience when dealing with change. These phases include:

• Ending—the outcome is for people to let go of the old ways of doing things

• Neutral Zone—people find themselves in a confusing, and in-between state (not quite letting go and not quite accepting the new state)

• New Beginning—people start to take hold and grow familiar with the new reality

This program will help you guide your organizations, leaders, and individuals through change for successful outcomes.

Managing Organizational TransitionThis program provides a framework and tools for supervisors, managers, directors, and executives who are responsible for leading people through organizational changes, and makingthosechangeswork.Itisintendedtohelp leaders minimize the distress and disrup-tions that change creates and helps to instead renew commitment and creativity.

From Linkage’s Change and Transition Practice Leader

DearColleague:

Itisclearthatthisisatimefullofchanges in strategy, technology, product mix, culture, and communication—and with many of them, reorganization and redeployment. Too many of these changes will be planned with not enough concern for how they will affect people or what people will have to do to make them work.

Most of the time, changes made to strengthen an organization actually weaken it by leaving its people resentful, de-motivated, and confused at a time when commitment and productivity are essential.

Leading Organizational Transition is a widely-used and readily learned set of strategies and tools for managing the human side of change. And, the pro-gram helps individuals manage the tran-sitions that are created by the changes they are facing. Leading Organizational Transition helps organizations minimize the distress and disruption that so often accompanies change.

IhopeyouwilljoinusatLinkageanddiscover how managing change and transitions more effectively can benefit you and your organization.

Yourstruly,
