Seminar Dealing with change: Success factors in change processes

The business world is always dynamic. New trends, market developments and technologies continuously present companies with new challenges and force them to rethink and adapt their previous methods. Only companies that face up to new tasks and requirements can fight against resistance, remain competitive and win over potential candidates. Success in managing change essentially depends on the following factors:

1. Well-defined vision: Only companies that have a clear and tangible vision that points employees and management in the right direction can successfully implement planned changes.

2. Effective communication: Transparent and ongoing communication is the key to successful change management. If all stakeholders are always provided with relevant information, they can play their part in successful change without misunderstandings arising.

3. Employee involvement: If managers initiate change on their own without informing or involving staff, this can be met with resentment. Employees who can actively contribute to change usually feel more valued and are motivated to contribute to the company's success.

4. Strong leadership: Changes can only be implemented successfully if there is a driving force behind them and actively promotes change processes. This can be people in management or other project leaders who first have a high degree of self-competence and self-reflection before they devote themselves to shaping the leadership tasks. Not only will plans be put into action in this way, but the team will also feel more at ease under goal-oriented leadership.

As a result, the success of change processes can be measured and, on balance, contributes to strengthening the company's performance. In our seminar Dealing with Change, we provide you with the most important techniques and methods.

Change projects: Communication in change management

Clear and transparent communication is the backbone of successful change processes. You will quickly realise this when you attend our seminar Dealing with Change. It helps to reduce resistance, build trust and create a common understanding of the upcoming change. It also enables leaders to effectively communicate the messages of change and ensure that all staff are on the same page. Good leadership behaviour, especially with regard to communication in detail, contributes to this:

1. Reducing uncertainty and fear: Change initially makes many people uncomfortable due to uncertainty, especially if the reasons for the change are not clear. Concerns can be avoided or eliminated through clear and transparent communication.

2. Building trust: In order to trigger a willingness to change in employees, they must feel comfortable in the company and be able to fully trust the employer. Therefore, companies must make every effort to communicate changes clearly and in a timely manner to the team and provide them with more details such as reasons and goals for the changes. Time management also plays a significant role in this context.

3. Promoting a common understanding: All employees should know what specific changes are taking place and what impact they will have on their own jobs and the company as a whole.

4. Openness to feedback: Changes often affect more than just the company as a whole. It is not uncommon for them to be directed at individual employees. Therefore, communication should not only be encouraged unilaterally. Questions, concerns and suggestions from employees should also be accepted and responded to constructively.

From the seminar Dealing with Change: Dealing with change individually

Whether in a private or professional context, change is part of dynamic life. Nevertheless, humans are creatures of habit and although everyone reacts differently to change, rejection is one of the most common behaviours when it comes to dealing with change. Nevertheless, upcoming, strategic changes are important in order to make progress or adapt to changing circumstances. By taking into account the individual emotions, fears and hopes of employees and all people involved, acceptance and commitment can be promoted. Techniques from psychology and coaching can serve as valuable tools in this regard. These can help employers to understand individual reactions first and to accompany them through change processes in a tailor-made way. Procedures such as exercises and conversations can help to eliminate concerns in a targeted way, broaden perspectives and influence the inner attitude towards change. In our practical seminar Dealing with Change, our trainer will teach you all the basic aspects and necessary skills for successfully managing change processes. You will leave the online or face-to-face seminar with relevant change competences.
