Are you ready for the EduChallenge?

Change is endemic in the education sector yet all too often change brings 
with it potential for resistance, compromise and/or failure to embed new 
ways of working.  How should the change process be managed?  How can staff 
be engaged and supported during the transition period?  What different 
strategies can be employed to help smooth the process?

Change Management for Further and Higher Education is a one-day workshop 
delivered by JISC infoNet.  Participants will gain an understanding of key 
theories behind the management of change, consider a structured framework 
for managing change and be introduced to a range of practical tools that 
can be adapted to meet different organisational needs.

You will also have the opportunity to put the theory into practice using 
the EduChallenge computerised simulation developed by one of the world’s 
leading business schools.  It is challenging, frustrating and very much 
like the reality of change in the education sector.

The day is aimed at senior managers and any other staff who need to lead or 
manage change in Higher Education Institutions or Further Education 
Colleges.  No prior knowledge is assumed although the event is suitable for 
staff with previous experience of change management as well as beginners.
