Masterclass Transition Management
Learn to understand and guide the emotional - and grief processes
in profound change
Do you want to . . .
-
explain people's emotions with major Change not as resistance, but understand and discuss them?
-
prevent people from dropping out, sitting at home, leaving, but rather keep them on board?
-
achieve human-centred transformation and avoid ill-considered change?
Do you also believe . . .
-
​that you can prevent absenteeism and social unrest by paying more attention to emotions during Change?
Planned and structured changes, however necessary, always evoke unplannable, emotional processes. Paying no or incorrect attention to those emotions leads to collateral damage through loss of commitment, departure of talent, absenteeism and social unrest. You can prevent this by knowing what is going on and doing the right thing. This Masterclass will give you insights, tools and much-needed skills to do so.
