Response to change

People react to change in different ways. The change curve is routinely referred to when looking at individual responses to change. These training materials explore the change curve so that delegates will have a sound understanding of the stages of changes,  typical behaviours and emotions associated with those stages. By understanding the possible reactions to change, delegates will be able to start working towards developing skills to help people deal with these emotions.

In this module:

• A thought provoking activity looking at the change curve and how different people react differently to change.
• A scenario based exercise to help delegates practice reactions to change based on the category they fall into (innovator, early adopter, followers, saboteurs).

Aims:

• Relate the emotions felt at each stage of the change curve to workplace change.
• An understanding of how to deal with different reactions to change.

Time:

60 minutes.

Group size:

Ideally, 4-16 people per session.

Useful for:

Those with management responsibility.
