Getting it Done!
June 2024
Whilst we love geeking out on the psychology of change, and how to set yourself up to do it well, sometimes it’s a case of just getting it done! This is getting increasingly difficult for many organisations, as they face the drive to ‘do more with less’ and may have a reduced internal resource of project and change teams.
In this change chat we’ll be sharing some practical hints and tips on how to drive change when you need to focus on action with limited resource, including:
- How to resource change well
- The benefits and draw backs of centralised models such as PMOs
- How to build a culture where people are empowered to take action
- What skills and capability are needed for change and where to find them
- How to access additional, flexible resource when needed
This session is ideal for CEOs, Directors and Heads of Service who are currently leading change programmes but struggling to get traction and need to deploy resources in the best way possible. It will also be helpful for those who run internal change and PMO teams. We will be sharing practical tips to help you move forward.
Communications and Engagement
April 2024
Communications and engagement - central to all change
Change comes in many forms within organisations. Creating a new strategy? Welcoming new political or officer leadership? Reviewing a service? All change, in its broadest form, is most likely to success if those impacted by in feel involved, heard and informed. Do you have the capacity or capability to do that well?
At Trueman Change we help set your change up for success. We add distinct value to your communications and engagement capacity by bringing you the expertise and creativity to identify and hear those who matter, gain advocates for your change and successfully achieve the outcomes you need.
Join our expert panel:
- Lucy Trueman, founder of Trueman Change and expert in doing change well
- Georgia Turner, our communications specialist
We'll reflect on:
- Differing change scenarios and the role of communications and engagement
- Our experiences of applying communications and engagement to facilitate change in various organisations
- How to cut through the 'noise' and reach those audiences you need to engage with most
This session is ideal for heads of service and directors who are looking for a critical friend to support on a communications review, or a senior Service Lead needing additional comms and engagement capacity and capability to support your change. Our MD Lucy Trueman as well as an experienced and expert panel will be sharing great tips and case studies from their work in a range of local authorities, to help you think about what changes you want to make in your service areas.
