Management Skills: How to Lead Organizational Change

An estimated 70% of organizational change efforts fail to reach their goals. Experts list reasons why, most have to deal with people factors. How do you get a group of individuals to enthusiastically support change? This course teaches you how to make that happen.

This course avoids the common pitfalls of change management by emphasizing the people side of change. The course presents and explains The HST Model for Change, where:

1. The change makes emotional and logical sense to all the people involved in the change from the beginning to the end of the change process

2. The change is through high-performing teams led by trained change leaders

In this course you will learn all you need to know for successful change.

· Be able to create engagement in change even before change is considered

· Know and be able to use the most powerful tool in the change management arsenal

· Greatly minimize resistance and know what to do if it appears

· Avoid common mistakes and misconceptions, like the popular yet erroneous "change curve"

· And much more

“HST” stands for “Harnessing the Speed of Thought.” This model initiates the change process where it actually begins, in the human brain, then expands outwards through teams and leaders to move the entire organization forward. By beginning with the latest findings in neuroscience, this new model creates a direct path from a creative idea, to discussions, to decisions, to implementing change and then to sustaining change. It works by supporting critical people needs first, which then support business needs.

Bob created the HST Model for Change while teaching change management workshops. He realized that what he was teaching (the most popular change models) lacked important elements that made them almost impossible to implement without undue stress and workarounds. The HST Model can enhance models you currently use (such as Kotter or ADKAR), or as an effective stand-alone process. Either way, you will manage change in your organization with a greater chance of success.

The HST Model will be a strong tool in your change management tool kit.
