1 CPE This course focuses on the people side of change. No matter the cause, the result is that your staff needs to adjust to new ways of thinking, acting, and working. Change is everywhere and might be large or small. Even the smallest of changes can create fear and resistance.
We review the major reasons for change, the basic stages of change and models for change, all from the perspective of the needs of the people involved. Many examples, especially those from Finance organizations, are offered along with explanations as to what caused the change and the emotional responses of those affected by it.
Next we discuss various reactions experienced by those forced to change and, finally, we offer strategies for minimizing the negative impact of change and maximizing the effective and creative responses by those properly engaged and motivated.
Solutions are offered that engage management and staff alike.
Learning Objectives
- Define the dynamics of organizational change as it applies to the people involved.
- Identify the types of change and the processes needed to make them successful.
- Identify the techniques management can use in leading and managing the change.
- Recognize how to respond to the needs and resistance to change experienced by those being required to make the change.
- Discover how to design the strategies and tactics that will lead to successful acceptance of change.

Good introduction and overview followed by a logical and informative presentation. The information is practical and can be utilized going forward to ensure change management is effective and efficient, including specific organizational processes and actions, as well as consideration and empathy for the needs of each individual involved in various transactional and transformational change scenarios.

I really liked the progression of the discussion, of reactions that people have to change, and how they move through the process to eventual acceptance. Very important for managers to take heed.
The sound quality in the fourth module, Basic Theories, could be improved.

I liked the amount of time used explaining the how and why people might experience different emotions when facing changes in the workplace.This course helped me to see these things from a different perspective. I think this course would be good for everyone.

I did not find this course useful, until the last part that was presented (solutions). It is evident that change is everywhere; the examples that were provided did not resonate well and did not contribute to my understanding of change management.

(Director of Quality Assurance (OIG, audi.. at Department of Health and Human Services)
It seemed a little odd to spend only 10 percent of the class on solutions and not to have a section on examples of how solutions work. I think there was some of this in the rest of the course, but it wasn't explicit.

I liked the examples and practical applications provided in this course. I would have liked to hear more about transformational change and how to get people on board when you cannot meet their objections.

I enjoyed the war stories the instructed used when going over the various aspects of the course. Real examples of these problems are relevant to understanding how to assist in the changes needed.
Overall it was a good course. Perhaps from a perspective of someone who is uncomfortable with change, and to me there seemed to be a couple of contradictions between examples and objectives.

The speaker not only shares valid insights and great examples, but exudes an attitude of care and concern for about the people who are faced with change that they are not comfortable with.

This course is really helpful. As we all know, change is inevitable, therefore, this online course absolutely gives us pointers on how to adapt and deal with change.

I think that the real world examples helped to underscore the importance of understanding reasons for resistance, listening to stakeholders, and regaining control.
