Management of Change, Culture & Organisational Development Training Course in Accra, Ghana
Classroom training in Accra · next cohort Nov 16, 2026 · from USD 4,500
Most change programmes stall not because the plan was wrong but because people were not brought along and the culture quietly pulled the organisation back to old habits. Managers who can read that culture and steer people through transition save their organisations time, money and goodwill. Over five days, participants build a complete approach to change, using Kotter's eight steps, the ADKAR model, Lewin's force field analysis, stakeholder mapping and impact assessment. They diagnose culture with the Competing Values Framework and staff surveys, design communication and sponsorship plans, handle resistance, and apply organisational development methods such as appreciative inquiry, process consultation and team effectiveness reviews.
The programme suits HR business partners, OD practitioners, programme and transformation managers, department heads, public sector reform officers and NGO leaders who carry responsibility for restructures, mergers, system rollouts or strategy shifts. Delivery is by classroom, online or in-house, and every session uses live scenarios from participants' own institutions. By the end you can complete a change readiness assessment, write a change plan with measurable adoption indicators, run a culture workshop and coach line managers through difficult transitions. A CPD-accredited certificate is awarded to those who finish the exercises.

About this course
Restructuring, new technology, mergers, funding shifts and regulatory reform have made continual change a normal condition for organisations in every sector. Leaders who treat each initiative as an isolated project often find that staff disengage, good people leave and the intended benefits never materialise. Culture, the unwritten rules about how things are really done, usually decides which outcome occurs.
This programme equips managers and specialists to approach change as a discipline. Participants first learn to assess readiness, map stakeholders and quantify how a proposed change affects roles, processes and incentives. They then examine organisational culture using recognised diagnostic models and learn how leadership behaviour, rewards, structures and symbols reinforce or undermine it. The central sessions focus on designing the change journey: sponsorship, communication, training, resistance management, quick wins and governance. The closing sessions introduce wider organisational development practice, including team diagnosis, intervention design and ways to embed change so that it survives the departure of its champions.
Participants work on a live or realistic change initiative throughout the week, so that tools are applied immediately and the final product is a usable change and culture plan.
Training Objectives
By the end of the programme, participants will be able to:
- Assess an organisation's readiness for change and the scale of its impact on people.
- Apply recognised change models to plan and sequence a transition.
- Diagnose organisational culture and identify the behaviours that need to shift.
- Develop stakeholder engagement and communication plans that build commitment.
- Anticipate and respond constructively to resistance.
- Select organisational development interventions suited to team and system problems.
- Define adoption measures and reinforcement actions that embed change.
