Process of Change Management

Often we find that too many frameworks are applied, and applied poorly or half-heartedly. Selecting the best framework for each situation requires a critical evaluation of existing step models and alternative models.

Through Process of Change Management, participants will learn how to engage the whole organisation in the change process by means of effective communication. You will become aware of the importance of building vision around the targets for change, and not based on the opinions of the change sponsor or agent or on the results of change.

Upon completion of this module participants will be enabled to develop and integrate a vision for change and balance, select and apply the most appropriate change plans and monitor stakeholder engagements and communication plans.

The WorldsView™ Academy Learning Process underlies all WorldsView™ programmes and is informed by progressive research about learning in contemporary environments. Our learning process consists of four learning channels:

• E-Learning platform that provides both a base for becoming familiar with  the field of each programme, as well as a space for ongoing exploration;
• A Classroom engagement where our faculty facilitate rich conversations  and learning experiences to deepen understanding of the field;
• A Workplace Application, often in the form of a workplace project, to   root learning in the actual work experience of learners and to ensure practical relevance and embodied understanding;
• and an Assignment/Evaluation, usually a portfolio of evidence combined with an examination, to confirm learning and conform to external examination board requirements, e.g. the Council on Higher Education, to formalise qualification.

Only highly qualified and experienced organisation development practitioners are appointed as Faculty in WorldsView Academy. Faculty members are selected in accordance with the specific module criteria as approved by the Academic Board.
