"Change is the only constant in life" is a quote attributed to the Greek philosopher Heraclitus. This is especially evident in recent years as the pace of change accelerates in an increasingly Volatile, Uncertain, Complex and Ambiguous world, commonly described by the acronym VUCA. The COVID-19 pandemic has further compounded this by causing unprecedented levels of disruption to fundamental aspects of modern life and work, resulting in many changes that may be long-lasting or even permanent. Dealing with these circumstances can be challenging, and having a structured framework to contextualise and manage the process of change will be of significant value to individuals and organisations alike in navigating a post- COVID world.
This program leverages on the strengths of the engaging and versatile LEGO® Serious Play® methodology as a thinking, communicating and problem-solving facilitation tool to equip participants with a framework for managing change that is practical, yet capable of unlocking deep insights.
The internationally-renowned LEGO® Serious Play® process has been described as "3D-printing one's thoughts" and is uniquely suited to represent intangible concepts like change in a visual and tactile manner. Participants are guided through a series of hands-on exercises to build metaphorical models in response to questions from the facilitator and to reflect upon their models to extract deeper insights on the topic and reinforce learning objectives.
"Managing Change in an Age of Disruption" introduces the core concepts of the subject based on the Standard for Change Management developed by the Association of Change Management Professionals as well as the ADKAR Model for Change Management developed by Prosci Inc. Participants will apply these concepts to a change process relevant to their circumstances and develop an actionable Change Management Plan through a series of progressive exercises during the course. The concepts and exercises will provide an effective foundation for managing change that can be easily replicated by the participants beyond the classroom.
This program is ideal for executives and managers responsible for developing, leading, or implementing Change Management initiatives within their organisations.
It is also suitable for anyone seeking a more structured approach to dealing with change in their daily lives and the world around them.
Upon successful completion of the program, participants should be able to:
The program will be delivered via a face-to-face workshop led by a certified facilitator in the LEGO® Serious Play® (LSP) methodology. LSP will be utilised as the core process, supplemented with slides, lectures, group discussions, presentations from participants, quizzes, and other interactive classroom activities.
For optimal engagement and more interactive sessions, the recommended class size for this program is 12 participants per LSP facilitator. Larger class sizes up to 25 participants may be accommodated with adjustments to the program schedule and/or additional LSP facilitators.
The standard program will be conducted over 2 consecutive days, from 9am to 5pm. Customised programs may be possible to suit specific requirements if necessary.
