Change Management in Public Sectors will choose an appropriate cartoon

Change Management in Public Sectors implementing change has become one of the key tasks of managers in today’s changing world ..But with so many innovations, managing change processes and making new things happen is often a difficult and sometimes frustrating process. ‘ Resistance to change’ was found to be the most important factor for failure rate of large organizational changes Failure, in this case, means that the targeted performance improvements are not achieved as planned The main problem emerges when we start moving from the still relatively comfortable area of ‘knowing’ to the one of actually ‘doing’

implementing change has become one of the key tasks of managers

in today’s changing world

..But with so many innovations, managing change processes and

making new things happen is often a difficult and sometimes

frustrating process.

‘ Resistance to change’ was found to be the most important factor for failure rate of large organizational changes

Failure, in this case, means that the targeted performance

improvements are not achieved as planned

The main problem emerges when we start moving from the still

relatively comfortable area of ‘knowing’ to the one of actually ‘doing’

Change Management in Public Sectors A successful change management requires an understanding of the dynamics of both diffusion and resistance of innovation A practical experience is necessary to efficiently: Diagnose the attitude of key individuals; Identify and leverage both formal and informal networks; Understand the specific cultural factors which determine success or failure

A successful change management requires an understanding

of the dynamics of both diffusion and resistance of innovation

A practical experience is necessary to efficiently:

Diagnose the attitude of key individuals;

Identify and leverage both formal and informal networks;

Understand the specific cultural factors which determine success or failure

Change Management – the solution Alternative approach to the development of change management competencies. ‘ Learning by doing’ philosophy Making it possible for groups of managers to experience the challenge

RCCM Simulation Overview A multimedia learning tool Dynamic, flexible tool, risk-free environment and FUN! Participants implement a major change in a simulated organization Participants experience different forms of resistance The most effective way to understand the phases & processes of change in organizations Expose senior managers to the strategic and operational issues of introducing, planning and implementing innovative projects in their environment Learning experience that 'sticks' and gives real ongoing value

A multimedia learning tool

Dynamic, flexible tool, risk-free environment and FUN!

Participants implement a major change in a simulated organization

Participants experience different forms of resistance

The most effective way to understand the phases & processes of change in organizations

Expose senior managers to the strategic and operational issues of introducing, planning and implementing innovative projects in their environment

Learning experience that 'sticks' and gives real ongoing value

RCCM Simulation Overview Participants will gain a number of insights and skills of change management , which are relevant to managers both in their role as change strategists and in their role as change agents: Awareness of the tactical mistakes Understanding of the major strategic traps Well-structured thought process for change implementation Reduce resistance and non-productive behaviors of employees in change projects

Participants will gain a number of insights and skills of change management , which are relevant to managers both in their role as change strategists and in their role as change agents:

Awareness of the tactical mistakes

Understanding of the major strategic traps

Well-structured thought process for change implementation

Reduce resistance and non-productive behaviors of employees in change projects
