Events

Are you a public sector CEO, Leader or Director leading change in your organisation? 

If so you’ll know first hand how difficult it can be! For too many years we have relied solely on project and programme management to drive change, and while it’s a great tool for structure and planning, it often neglects the “people side of change”. 

Join us for “Leading Change: Drawing on Psychology” to hear our Organisational Psychologist argue the case that project management alone isn’t enough! We’ll be talking all things culture, behaviour, resistance to change and staff engagement. 

What you’ll gain: 

We’ll walk through a range of psychology concepts which can help us to understand what happens when organisations go through change and transformation, and how they can help us be better leaders. We’ll discuss topics such as: 

• Why culture eats strategy for breakfast 
• Why people resist change and how to deal with it 
• What impacts our motivation
• What good staff engagement really looks like 
• How to lead well during uncertain times. 
   

Why attend? 

Whether you are going through LGR, restructures, or general change and transformation, in this session our Founder and Organisational Psychologist Lucy Trueman will walk through research, evidence based tools and techniques, and help you to improve your change leadership. 

Are you a CEO or Director with concerns about your culture in Housing Services? 

If so you’ll understand the complexity of the world of housing, and how this can influence culture. 

Join us for “Culture change in Housing Services”, a panel discussion with our team of experts talking all things culture. Organisational Psychologist Lucy Trueman, will chair a discussion with Justin Hunt, our Principal Housing Specialist, and Graeme Beedham our Tenant Engagement Lead on all things housing and change. 

What you’ll gain: 

We’ll talk through the challenges specific to housing services including: 

The impact of the regulator on culture around stress 
Different types of demands in housing services 
Leading different types of culture, and how they can vary from service to service 
Dealing with resistance to change 
 

Why attend? 

Who better to hear from than a housing specialist, an engagement expert and an organisational psychologist when it comes to housing culture change? If you are struggling with low performance, resistance to change and problematic behaviour in your housing services, this is the session for you.

Are you a leader, manager, or key decision-maker in a council navigating the challenges of the private rented sector?

With the Renters Rights Act finally set to receive Royal Assent, the private rented sector is on the brink of a comprehensive transformation. This long-awaited legislation introduces new responsibilities and opportunities for councils, but it also raises critical questions: What now? Are your private sector housing teams, housing options/solutions teams, and other internal services ready to meet the challenge?

Join us for ‘The Renters Rights Act - What Now?’, an essential session designed to help councils like yours understand the implications of this landmark legislation, prepare for the changes ahead, and ensure your teams are equipped to deliver.

We're thrilled to bring you an expert panel including:

• Helen Buckingham from Jigsaw
• Ben Yarrow from Marks Out of Tenancy
• Al Mcclenahan from Justice for Tenants, and;
• Teresa Howarth, Associate Consultant for Trueman Change
