Find your change management seminar

  • Are you looking for a “Change management for managers” seminar?
  • Do you want to initiate a change towards sustainability?
  • Do you want to support a specific change project with goal-orientated training?

Change processes are not business as usual for any organisation. They present managers and employees alike with more or less significant challenges. These need to be recognised, accepted and mastered by developing suitable change skills so that the change process is successful.

Change Management Seminar für Führungskräfte

Tailor-made change trainings for your needs.

In our seminars on change management, we prepare your managers for the typical challenges of a change process. In our basic seminar, they learn the theoretical basics and how to apply them in practice. In our in-depth seminars, we deal explicitly with the role of managers in change, communication and the special case of innovation management.

All our in-house seminars are of course tailored to your individual needs. Contact us so that together we can develop a tailor-made training concept for you.

Seminar 1

change management basics

Understanding Change and successfully shaping change

Change in companies may be unsettling for many people concerned. You being the manager therefore will be able to help the employees, taking away their fears during this process of change.

However, what is actually meant by change and what is the difference between “change management” and “project management?” Why does change trigger reservations and resistance? What might be the reactions in a team exposed to a project change and what would you be able to do to facilitate this process?

In our seminar you will be given the answers to these questions and also you will have the opportunity to apply theoretical approaches to your situation. This will strengthen your daily life situation within the company and assist you and your team during a period of change.

Target group:

  • Managers in a changing work environment
  • Managers who plan and implement change

Seminar 2

change agility

Change as we change.

Many organisations are in a state of permanent change. But changing organisations and adapting to them is difficult. Accepting or even welcoming change is challenging, but necessary for survival. It is too easy to fall back into old ways of thinking, such as best practices or the classic change phases that seem to give us stability. As a result, personal attitudes are becoming much more important than tools, frameworks and methods. Around half of all people affected by change usually don’t want it in the first place. So how do you change attitudes?

How can you transform the way in which change is implemented? How can you utilise agile principles for the change project? How to work even better with agile teams?

In this seminar, we will reflect on your own attitude to change and how you can change it. We will work with agile principles and tried-and-tested change tools. In order to make the seminar as practical as possible, we use practical examples from participants as well as case work from our change practice.

Target group:

  • Employees and managers who reflect on their attitude to change and want agile change

Seminar 3

change leadership

Change management seminar for managers

“Maintaining an overview”, “providing clear direction”, “realising a mission” – this is often said to be the task of leadership in change. But unlike traditional project work, you are right in the middle of a change project. Instead of managing “from above”, you need new, innovative tools.

For you as a manager, it is important to give your employees security without promising too much, as clear convictions will no longer apply in the next moment. You are required to fulfil different roles: You have to openly moderate decision-making processes, actively obtain new perspectives, reconcile conflicting interests and goals, and plan and implement a step-by-step plan. You realise: Leadership in change is not achieved from the captain’s bridge, but on deck together with the entire team of employees, customers and suppliers. When a storm arises, you need to be able to rely on everyone.

In this seminar, you will expand your change management skills. You will learn to assess your own role in change projects and to use the appropriate procedures and tools for this role. So that no-one falls overboard, even in the face of headwinds.

Target group:

  • Managers, prospective managers
  • change agents
  • people who want to implement changes in their organization

Seminar 4

change sustainability

Environmental management as part of organisational development

The effects of climate change as well as laws and provisions regarding environmental and social standards are increasing and pose great challenges to organisations:

How can companies systematically reduce their environmental impact and CO2-footprint and integrate a sustainable orientation into their corporate identity in a serious and economical way?

Companies often set out on their own. More or less stringently, they consider and implement measures. So-called environmental management systems offer a more structured process. These enable a systematic approach with simultaneous expert advice and review. The most demanding system worldwide is the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme – EMAS for short, the premium label of the European Union.

In this seminar we will look at the strategies mentioned and their strengths and weaknesses. The aim is that participating organisations can find out for themselves which approach is best for them in order to successfully start a sustainability strategy in their own company, to save emissions and costs and to make a valuable contribution to climate protection.

Target Group:

  • managers, change managers, change agents
  • managers who plan and implement change

Main Focus

  • Status of climate change

  • Indicators for measuring the company’s environmental impact
  • Measures for climate protection & social compatibility
