Change Management

Creative Thinking and Problem Solving

Participants will learn to identify and overcome obstacles to creative thinking, learn to cultivate their own creative thought processes and how to encourage creative thinking in others.

Effective Project Management

Participants will learn and assess important concepts including the seven-step project management life cycle ‒ initiating, planning, organizing and staffing, implementing, measuring and assessing, controlling and closing-out – and how each step may be applied to workplace endeavors.

Leading and Managing Change

Participants will scrutinize planned and unanticipated change. Focusing on the organization, they will consider the effect of change on resources, employees and customer satisfaction. From there, delve into the power, role and influence of leaders as change agents and apply the lessons learned to their current work environment.

Management: Power and Influence

Participants will analyze various sources of power and the social, economic and cultural conditions that create them. Participants will investigate historic events in which people of great power quickly become powerless and those of modest influence have grown to become world leaders.

Project Management: Leading Projects to Successful Outcomes

Leaders form expectations, optimize stakeholder involvement and integrate needed change into existing environments. Participants will focus on essentials such as assessing capability to deliver, defining individual and team workload, budgeting, communicating, scheduling tasks and monitoring progress.

Technology: Changing in the World Order

Leaders drive the technology that is applied to data analysis, planning, information security, personnel management, personnel safety, internal and external communication, fiscal accountability and routine and emergency communication. Participants will focus on information sharing and analysis, telecommunications and linking networks and systems.
