Vision to Action

A course aimed at translating your ‘Vision to Action’, which belongs to a series of two day courses ‘Confidence to Innovate’ and ‘Built to Last’, which make up a short programme aimed at increasing your capability to ‘Deliver Innovation and Change at pace’.  The programme is founded upon the notion that there is a definable need to:              

  • Inspire organisations (in particular Ms of SMEs) to learn again and address the ‘I only know what I know’ constraint                  
  • Gather practical insights into ‘what works’ in Operational Performance Improvement                  
  • Experience a safe learning environment to bust common myths and challenge what we do operationally                  
  • Be part of a community of innovative organisations to increase your confidence to ‘do something better’ or ‘do something differently’                  
  • Facilitate a greater self-awareness of how to improve personal productivity            

The course was developed in part to harvest the experiential learnings that the company management had accumulated in their Operational Performance Improvement business to attract organisations to a targeted course that fuses broad operational insight from senior operational executives, with high engagement and innovative products.              

On successful completion of this ‘Vision to Action’ course, the delegates will be able to:              

  • Demonstrate a critical appreciation of what it takes to make change happen                  
  • Evidence a synthesis of the theoretical underpinnings of the course to critically evaluate the efficacy of change that has been attempted in their place of work                  
  • Critically evaluate personal efficacy to drive change, and actively assess impact on self, individuals, teams and organisation during a period of change         

Agenda

  • Explore how to assess an organisations readiness for change and practice how to assess your own organisation                  
  • Understand and practice how to improve organisational maturity and resilience                  
  • You will have chance to decode the key features of challenging what are the right things to change whilst relating to your challenges and opportunities for leading change             

Day 2 – Applied Change Management to ‘Do Things [and keep things] Right’

  • Understand how to actively translate your vision to tangible action and how to link all component parts successfully together

  • Appreciate the array of  adult learning styles and build a self-awareness of the diversity of learning styles                  
  • Examine different change ‘scenarios’ from your own experience to reflect how well they were implemented and if the change has been sustained.
