Are you trying to lead change and struggling to see the positive impact you would like?
Are you needing to gain better influence with a group or individuals whose contribution is important to your work, but you can’t engage?
Leaders are increasingly required to facilitate transformational change in and across their systems and organisations, often without power or authority. New skills, which include an OD / consulting mindset, are required to help leaders implement system-wide change programmes.
This virtual programme is delivered in small communities of practice (up to 12 individuals) to forge networks and share learning together in a supportive space. It is delivered over 5 key leadership theme areas, each with its own online learning module and its own ‘learning pod’, where you come together in your community of practice to deepen learning. The leadership areas are:
- Influencing without Formal Authority (IWFA)
- Challenging the Status Quo (CSQ)
- Releasing the Potential of Human Systems (RPHS)
- Self as Courageous Role Model (SCRM)
- Consulting Skillset and Mindset (being an internal facilitator of improvement)- (CSM)
The programme is designed to enable you to:
• Find and use your power positively, with less reliance on the hierarchy, and supporting others to do this, too.
• Gain practical strategies for speaking up with courage and role modelling this for others, creating a climate where uncomfortable tensions can be constructively explored
• Understand why people behave as they do in organisations and systems, and how to release the positive potential of group dynamics to improve outcomes.
• Build your skills, capability, and confidence to be an effective systems change consultant in and across organisations and systems.
• Enhance and extend your practical strategies to care for and challenge yourself during change and transformation, so you can be a role model for others and “be the system change”
Who is it for?
This programme is open across the health and care sector. It may be particularly appropriate for you if you are leading a project or programme across different teams or organisations, work as a systems leader or are responsible for delivering change to some degree.
What is the time commitment?
The programme is a series of 5 virtual monthly ‘learning pods’ of 90 minutes each, alongside online learning modules to complete before each learning pod (5 online modules in total). These online learning modules are also approximately 90 minutes each with an activity to do as part of each.
What is the cost?
This programme is free of charge.
