Leading Change in Complex Government Environments
A one-day programme for senior civil servants who lead or sponsor organisational change and transformation in government, including the reform agenda.
About This Programme
This one-day programme is for government leaders who lead or sponsor change programmes: digital transformation, organisational restructuring or new ways of working. By the end of the day you’ll be able to match your approach to the type of change you are leading, build coalitions and make new ways of working last.
We teach frameworks for working with complexity, because you can’t plan your way through complex change.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of the day you’ll be able to:
- Explain why traditional change management often fails in government, where change happens in complex systems
- Use the Cynefin framework to match your approach to the type of change
- Build coalitions, manage resistance and keep momentum going when you engage stakeholders at scale
- Make decisions when you can’t predict the outcome
- Turn the high-level direction of the reform agenda into change you can act on in your area
- Embed new ways of working so that they last beyond the first push
