Dealing with Imposed Change and Transitions? LTI can help!

June 18, 2009 - PRLog -- Dealing with Imposed Change and Transitions? LTI can help!

In today’s economic climate, organizational change and transitions are inevitable.  More then ever, it’s critical for employees to learn not only how to deal with transitions, but also how to manage others in an ever-changing environment.

To help, LTI has designed a program where participants will explore how to become more resilient to changes in organizational structure and how to view change as an “opportunity” rather than a threat.  Our focus is on specific skills and attitudes needed to remain productive through transitions.  We also explore their personal change style (how we react to change), the different types of change, and how to manage through each of these stages.

Participants will explore:

•    Managing Transitions
   Explore the four types of organizational change with real-world examples.  Learn to manage yourself and others through each type of transition.

•    Dealing With Imposed Transitions
   Through a highly participatory activity, the group works to achieve certain tasks established by top management.  Throughout, they must deal with “unexpected” changes as they occur.  New and innovative strategies must be devised to maintain productivity.

•    Managing At The Speed of Change
   Increase your resilience to change, which increases your capacity for change.  Resilient people are flexible, focused, positive, proactive, and organized.

•    Strategies For Dealing With The Unknown
   We each go through various stages during times of transition, from denial through resistance, and then exploration to commitment.  Develop specific strategies for dealing with each.

•    A Change Style Assessment
   Different people deal with change differently.  This tool helps participants look at their characteristic preferences for either adaptive or innovative approaches to change.  Why do some people prefer to “do things better” and others prefer to “do things differently”?  We look at the different styles of problem-solving, decision-making and creativity, and the advantages/ disadvantages of each.

•    Helping Others Through Times of Transition
   We need to not only manage ourselves, but we also need to help others deal with the changes as well.  Both positive and negative reactions to change, new roles and responsibilities, and larger workloads, can be contagious.  Explore ways to help yourself and others see the positive aspects of change instead of just the negative.
