Achieving Change: the role of training and development
Thursday 5 November 1998
Is your service currently engaged in one or more of the following:
restructuring, introducing new services, altering opening hours,
changing the organisation's culture or creating an environment in which
people are ready for constant change? Successfully managing the human
aspects of such change, of which training and development form one
component, is likely to be central to achieving any useful change.
Training and development are here defined to include creating any
opportunity for learning that helps to facilitate the process of
achieving change. A casual conversation with a senior manager in which
the vision of what is to be achieved is further explained, formal
briefing sessions and written newsletters, workshops about the theory of
change, team building for a new team, and specific skills are all
examples.
Aim
To enable workshop participants to arrive at a greater understanding of
the human aspects of organisation change management in particular the
role of training and staff development.
Objectives
By the end of the workshop participants may expect to have:
* appraised how change impacts on the individual
* identified ways of helping individuals work through change
* considered how to identify the potential for useful change in an
organisation
* examined the diverse use and operation of groups in change
management
* explored how to work with resistance to change
The workshop will be participative and draw on delegates experience of
change. There will be opportunities to learn from exercises, small
group work, theory input, case studies and discussion.
Delegates will receive a copy of the Library Training Guide - Achieving
change: the role of training and staff development written by June
Whetherly and published earlier this year.
Workshop leader: June Whetherly, Develop People>>Develop Services, is a
consultant focusing on organisational, group and individual development.

Library Training Guide Achieving change through training and development
