Change projects rarely fail on technology or strategy. They fail because people do not understand the reason, do not trust the leaders or fall back to old habits once the consultants leave. Applied over five days, this programme equips HR, OD and line leaders to work on the human side of change with tools they can use the following Monday.
You begin by diagnosing culture with surveys, interviews and artefact analysis, using the Competing Values Framework and Schein levels of culture. Change sessions then cover case for change, stakeholder and impact analysis, resistance, communication planning and sponsor roles, drawing on Kotter eight steps, ADKAR and Lewin. The later days turn to organisational development practice: team effectiveness, appreciative inquiry, large group methods, coaching conversations, restructuring and mergers, and measuring whether new behaviours have taken root. Human resource managers, OD practitioners, transformation leads, project managers, department heads and consultants in government, NGOs, banks, utilities and private firms will find it useful. Delivery is classroom, online or in-house, with a CPD-accredited certificate. You leave with a change plan for a real initiative and the confidence to guide it.
Organisations in Africa and beyond are merging, digitising, restructuring and adapting to funding and market shocks at a pace that outstrips their capacity to bring people along. Culture decides whether new systems and structures are used or quietly ignored, yet it is seldom diagnosed with the same care as finances or processes.
The Applied Change, Culture & Organisational Development Training Course treats culture and change as a practical discipline. Participants learn how to assess the current culture and identify the one the strategy requires, how to build a credible case for change, and how to plan sponsorship, communication, training and reinforcement. They study established models critically, comparing when each helps and where it falls short, and learn core organisational development interventions for teams and whole systems.
The programme is applied throughout. Each participant works on a live or realistic change initiative from their own workplace, producing a culture diagnosis summary, a stakeholder and resistance map, a change roadmap and a measurement plan, with feedback from peers and facilitators at every stage.
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
