What if we applied psychology to change management? 

Tools for delivering change tend to be dominated by project/programme management approaches and consultancy models, which certainly have their place,  but what if we applied research and understanding around organisational psychology to the way we deliver change? 

In this change chat our Founder and Organisational Psychologist Lucy Trueman will explore some core psychology concepts which researches use to describe behaviour in the workplace, and consider what this means for leaders going through change. We’ll cover theories about: 

• Motivation 
• Leadership 
• Workplace Identity 
• Culture 
• Where change really happens 
  
  

This session is ideal for CEOs, Director and Heads of Service who are leading change in their organisations and want to put people at the heart. If you have a lot of change going on and want to be able to lead well, understand behaviour and change mindsets this session is for you! Also great for understanding your own brain and why you think/behave how you do during times of change. 

Here’s what you can expect: 

• A 60 minute focused online conversation via zoom 
• Hints and tips about how to apply psychological theory in real world situations 
• An opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences with link minded professionals

A phrase so often used, but what does it really mean? In a world dominated by project and programme methodologies what does it really look like to take a people driven approach?

Our research shows that whilst we need project and programme management to provide structure and assurance, we also need to engage people in the process. It’s becoming more and more common for change leaders to think about engagement, culture and co-production as part of the change journey.

In this change chat we’ll borrow from multiple disciplines to really think change through in a holistic way. We’ll discuss change management, HR/OD, psychology, leadership and project and programme management. We’ll cover:

• The importance of understanding your culture when going through change, and how to leverage it
• What good engagement looks like
• Change leadership skill and why it matters
• How to engage with middle managers to ensure the change really sticks
• Why workforce strategies are crucial for successful change

This session is ideal for CEOs, Directors, change professionals and HR/OD colleagues involved in change, as well as communication professionals who want to better engage with communities and the workforce. If you need to take your staff on a change journey this session is for you! We will be sharing practical tips to help you ensure your change really makes the difference you need.
