Are you ready for the EduChallenge? Change is endemic in the education sector yet all too often change brings with it potential for resistance, compromise and/or failure to embed new ways of working. How should the change process be managed? How can staff be engaged and supported during the transition period? What different strategies can be employed to help smooth the process?Participants will gain an understanding of key theories behind the management of change, consider a structured framework for managing change and be introduced to a range of practical tools that can be adapted to meet different organisational needs.You will also have the opportunity to put the theory into practice using the EduChallenge computerised simulation developed by one of the world’s leading business schools. It is challenging, frustrating and very much like the reality of change in the education sector.
