From delivering the plan to being heard on the decision.
Many experienced change practitioners are asked for documents when they could be shaping decisions. This course builds the presence, influence and business sense to be heard by senior leaders, and shows how to turn your impact assessments into a case they can act on.
To help you influence the decisions that shape a change, using our UPELO™ method. By the end, you will be able to:
Day 1 · Understand. Show up as a credible voice in senior meetings: prepare, speak plainly, and be known for useful, well judged contributions.
Day 1 · Understand. Read who holds power and who is affected, learn what each leader cares about (cost, risk and results), and build allies before you need them.
Day 1 to 2 · Plan. Turn impact assessments into a clear story with evidence: benefits, risk and value, so leaders can decide quickly.
Day 2 · Equip. Questions, framing and listening that lower defensiveness, and how to coach managers and champions through hard conversations.
Day 2 · Launch. Stay calm when a change is going wrong, set healthy boundaries, and raise and escalate risk early with tact.
Day 2 · Own. See how people, process and incentives interact, spot dependencies and change overload, and plan adoption and handover. Ends with a review clinic on your own work.
This covers the topics a practitioner level change course is expected to: theory and models, impact and stakeholder analysis, planning, communications, training and support, readiness, resistance, adoption and sustainment. It is our own course and is not an accredited qualification.
