Working Through Organizational Change
A One-Day Workshop
HRDQ Research & Development Team
  • Objective: To understand and support organizational change
  • Audience: Individuals or teams that experience frequent organizational change
  • Time required: One day or two half-days
  • Product format: One-day workshop 

    
Change is constant and inevitable — it’s one of the few things in life we can count on. We can also count on the fact that, whether change is organization-wide or specific to individual departments or employees, everyone has a reaction to it. The organizations we work for demand that we both adopt and adapt to change. The more we know about the process of change, the better equipped we are to take steps towards the acceptance of change and adapt to it effectively in our work and our lives.

Through the use of assessments, activities, discussion exercises, and simulations, this action-packed, one-day workshop covers all aspects of change, helping individuals make a conscious effort to support the changes they encounter. Based on experiential theory, Working Through Organizational Change enables participants to learn and practice specific actions that can be taken to help them deal more effectively with change in the workplace.

Working Through Organizational Change Learning Outcomes:

  • Identify personal response to organizational change
  • Understand how change can create stress in any work environment
  • Understand the four phases one must pass through to successfully handle change
  • Identify 12 actions that help to regain a sense of control while in the midst of change.

This complete workshop is perfect for any organization in the midst of change or anticipating a change. Ideal for any individual or team that experiences frequent change in their work, Working Through Organizational Change can be presented in one day or two half-day training sessions.

“I have facilitated the Working Through Organizational Change workshop to participants in various roles and industries and constantly get outstanding results. This workshop is a highly effective, ready-to-use full-day workshop that helps employees understand and support organizational change. At the end of the day, participants come away with an understanding of their typical reaction to change and a framework to approach future change that they can apply to their everyday lives.”

It's clear - recurring change is the norm in organizational life today. Still, most of us have difficulty dealing with it. Mastering the Change Curve uncovers your participants' individual reactions to change - and gives them an understanding of how their behavior affects their success.

"In this climate of uncertainty, the challenge is not so much to prepare for distinct change events as it is to develop characteristics of adaptability and change hardiness."

Dennis Jaffe & Cynthia Scott

Drs. Jaffe and Scott are experts in the field of change management. The authors describe change as natural progression through a series of four phases: Denial, Resistance, Exploration, and Commitment. To successfully deal with change, employees must pass through all four phases.
  
Administered periodically, Mastering the Change Curve can be used to monitor and track progress through a change. The participant booklet includes the 24-item assessment and features pressure-sensitive scoring, descriptions of the four phases, and discussion questions.

Respondents will:

  • gain an understanding of the four phases of change
  • pinpoint their current stage in the transition process
  • identify productive - and nonproductive change behaviors
  • develop a strategy to master change

Sample items from self-evaluation:

  • I'm sure the whole thing will blow over soon. (denial)
  • I'm not sure I can do what is expected of me. (resistance)
  • I keep thinking of new ways to do things. (exploration)
  • I'm surprised at what has come out of this process. (commitment)

The Mastering the Change Curve Facilitator Guide includes background information, administration guidelines, and transparency masters. $105


Bridges' Transition Model
Phase 1: Endings
Every transition begins with an ending, a loss. When things change, people leave behind the way things were — and the way they were in the previous situation. They may be left searching for a new way to define themselves.

Phase 2: The Neutral Zone
A confusing in-between state, when people are no longer who and where they were, but are not yet who and where they're going to be. While the Neutral Zone can be distressing, it also provides many opportunities for creative transformation.

Phase 3: New Beginnings
A new beginning can only happen after people have let go of the past and spent some time in the Neutral Zone. In this phase, people accept the reality of the change and start to identify with their new situation.
