Gain a practical introduction to managing change, using the Kotter, ADKAR and Lewin models to assess stakeholder impact, communicate clearly, respond to resistance and make new ways of working stick.
The Change Management Fundamentals course in Doha, Qatar is an introductory, hands-on program for professionals who need to support or lead change in their teams. New systems, restructures, policies and processes often fail not because the idea is wrong, but because people are not prepared for it. The course explains why change is difficult, how individuals experience it, and how three widely used models, Lewin's unfreeze-change-refreeze, Kotter's 8 steps and the Prosci ADKAR model, can guide a practical change plan.
Participants work through a realistic change scenario from start to finish, mapping stakeholders, assessing the impact on different groups, drafting key messages and planning responses to resistance. They also learn simple ways to reinforce new behaviors and measure whether a change has been adopted. No previous change management experience is needed. Organizations introducing a specific change, such as a new system or structure, can request the course as an in-house program built around their own initiative.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Explain why organizational change succeeds or fails and how people respond to it
