Leading organisational change is always a challenge – even more so when times are tough. How do you bring about change in times of austerity and financial cutbacks?
Cutting budgets and cutting jobs isn’t pleasant, but it’s relatively straightforward to do. The real challenge is after those cuts have been made – how do you create an organisation that is as effective as possible, with only limited resources? And how do you manage this transition without completely demotivating everyone in the organisation?
This is the real test of leadership and that’s what this one day programme is about.
