OVERVIEW

Challenging an Understanding of 21st Century Management

Our Change Management Process is a fully customised course that focuses on targeting managerial problem areas unique to the specific corporate environment of the client, and explores the creative development of strategic initiatives to address them.

A unique approach to training:

This Change management process is unique in that it offers no standardized process to arrive at pre-fabricated solutions. Rather, it is tailor-made according to the specific needs and challenges that surface during the course of the facilitation process.

This demands exceptional skills from the training facilitator to structure and facilitate the course contents as the training process unfolds. Expected outcomes therefore differ according to the relevant demands of the client.

Our aim:

The Change management process aims at shifting existing paradigms about 21st century management. It challenges delegates to change in that it explores the vast difference between creative competitive management and operational effectiveness: the first which offers strategies of achieving new results better vs. the latter that offers stereotyped avenues of achieving similar results better.

Course process:

The course is a 6-day process: 2 consecutive training days, followed by a week long break which serves as an incubation period which offers delegates a chance to internalise the course content. This cycle is repeated three times.

Unique benefits of our Change Management Process:

1) Entirely outcomes driven.

2) Individual assessments and feedback of at least 1½ hours per delegate. This facilitates maximum knowledge-ability of required changes, which helps to ensure enduring transformation.

3) Use of the 'Millon Index of Personality Styles' (MIPS) as assessment tool, of which dr. Pieter Kitshoff (co-facilitator to the course process) has been granted sole user-rights by The Psychological Corporation in America.

The ITM-analysis, a model derived from MIPS, is used to identify and analyse the natural thinking style of the individual. It serves as a catalyst to plot the strategic planning of the course and assists in hands-on facilitation.

See model below.

4) Follow-up with the delegates within one week after the course via either individual interviews and/or a group session which takes place during a typical management meeting, where adapted behaviour is observed and facilitated by the facilitators. Other relevant parties (e.g. HOD/team-leader/HR-department) are involved in the feedback-process. This ensures a holistic understanding within the company of the impact of the change management process.

The Change Management Process broadly encompasses the following outcomes:

  • Guide the individual to grow more knowledge-able - the ultimate goal in self-development.
  • Enhance self-awareness of the individual and the client company - a prerequisite for knowledge-ability.
  • Develop insight into own attitude and response towards change, and develop a capacity to facilitate and adapt to change.
  • Foster an understanding of team dynamics and its influence on the individual.
  • Encourage genuine acceptance of one another.
  • Teach effective feedback-methods.
  • Improve open and direct communication.
  • Stimulate personal leadership potential.
  • Equip the individual with practical skills to manage diversity in the corporate environment.
  • Facilitate team development with practical guidance in problem solving.
  • Clarify values and perceptions to improve working relations, productivity and operational effectiveness.
  • Empower the individual to manage his personal and professional life creatively and successfully.
