Planning Change at Work Level 6 – Tutor Delivered

Level 6 (IRL) Unit Certificate in Planning Change in the Workplace – ABSD Awards

Turn Good Ideas Into Successful Change

Change is essential for organisations that want to remain competitive, responsive and focused on their customers.

Yet many good ideas and improved ways of working never become reality because organisations fail to manage the people, communication and practical challenges of change.

Change can be exciting and positive for some people, but for others it can create uncertainty, anxiety and resistance. Understanding why people resist change — and knowing how to bring them with you — is at the heart of successful change management.

This practical Level 6 (IRL) course in Planning Change in the Workplace is designed to help managers and professionals understand the change-management process and develop practical approaches for planning and implementing change successfully.

Recognise the benefits of innovation and change
