Lean Change Foundations
Lean Change Foundations is designed to help change managers and leaders take the best ideas from agile practices, lean startup, and design thinking to help you create an approach to change management that is compatible with your organisation, and the type of change you’re working on.
Description
Today’s change managers and leaders want to know how they can change faster to keep up with a constantly increasing pace of change and disruption.
Lean Change Foundations is a 4 half-day (Virtual) or 2 day (In-Person) experience designed to help you take the best ideas from agile practices, lean startup, and design thinking to help you create an approach to change management that is compatible with your organisation, and the type of change you’re working on.
The course is a highly interactive combination of instructor led discussions and team-based exercises. It’s not just reading through a slide pack.
