Malcolm Leith
(Director of Consulting Strategies Ltd)
Derek was a leading consultant in our team responsible for implementing nationwide changes in educational policy on behalf of UK Government ministers, teaching unions and over 150 local education authorities. Extending over seven years this programme of change had significant positive impact on the working conditions of teachers and student learning in over 20,000 schools. Derek selected and trained over 120 change facilitators in the use of change management tools and processes that were deployed at local level to promote changes in the way schools were managed, making more effective use of resources, and greatly improving the work-life balance of professional staff. Many of the practical approaches to delivering this nationwide change programme, and more, are reflected in Derek’s CMS and will greatly benefit anyone seeking to make complex change happen.
Bruce Bandeen
(Ex-Programme Executive for Rolls-Royce Nuclear)
I worked with Derek on two change programmes in the Rolls-Royce Marine Power Generation Division in the 1990’s. One focused on Project Management and the other on Strategic Sourcing; very different in nature. By applying these Principles, we successfully identified solutions to completely change the way we delivered our business, and implemented in what were very challenging environments for five very different businesses within the Division. CMS will provide you with valuable insights into the challenges of managing change and practical steps for effectively addressing these challenges.

What You'll Learn Inside This Course
Leadership
Learn how to demonstrate through your leadership what the change process is like to experience, as well as what the future outcome will look & feel like as a result.
Planning
Learn what makes planning organisational change different from technological, or engineering change, and hence why it demands a different approach - planning for uncertainty - because the object of organisational change is largely people!
Quick Wins
Learn how you can raise confidence in the organisation’s ability to manage change by finding a realistically achievable "quick win" you can deliver within a short timescale and deliver demonstrable benefits.
Resourcing
Learn the four major groups of resources vital for any programme of change, and anticipate how the skills and experience of these groups must adapt as the programme unfolds.
Sustainable Capability
Learn how you shift your approach from discontinuous to sustainable change (i.e. when managing change becomes part of who your are as an organisation).
Culture
Learn how to cultivate a productive culture for implementing change amongst a diverse team in which everyone can contribute and feel valued.
Holistic Change
Learn how to recognise all four interdependent systems in your organisation - economic, institutional, social and political. Anticipate the unintended impacts that change in one system can have on the others.
Coalition for Change
Identify a single focus/figurehead around whom to form a coalition for change. Entice and reward early adopters and supporters who otherwise might be wavering in their commitment.
People
Design small group activities to promote two way interaction to help you identify what contributes to people’s personal value proposition at work – and the impact of the proposed change on them as individuals.
Benefits Realisation
Learn how to identify, evaluate, specify and report on the benefits of the change. Missing this step accounts for why so many change programmes fail to fulfil the desired outcomes, and even fail to deliver anything worthwhile!
Create an unstoppable change culture using universal principles that work in any situation.
Leverage this model for a wide range of change initiatives, e.g. statutory & regulatory changes, workforce/team restructures, new IT system implementations, performance turnarounds, mergers & acquisitions, pressure from competitors & reacting to new market opportunities.
Learn from a seasoned professional
Your instructor, Derek Hall, has more than 35 years experience running change programs across both the public and private sectors. Rolls-Royce, General Motors, Clearstream International, the Ministry of Defence, Department of Education and the National Health Service in the UK have all benefited from his leadership.
Drive incredible enagagement by using human psychology
Nurture commitment to change by using a range of tactics. Treating people as individuals counters the emotions of parochial self-interest. The more you understand human psychology, the more you'll succeed.
