Half-day Workshop
Learn the critical role leaders play in change success
Senior leaders play a crucial role as primary sponsors of change. They validate the need for change among employees, authorise funding and resources, and influence change acceptance and adoption through employee-facing activities.
The Change Management Sponsor Briefing is a one-day workshop that clearly outlines the role of sponsors during change and provides easy-to-use frameworks. We’ll also demonstrate the power of effective change management in determining organisational results by leveraging the organisation’s current strategic change portfolio.
DID YOU
KNOW ?
Effective support from sponsors (senior leaders) is the largest determinant of change success, according to all of Prosci’s benchmarking studies since 1998. However, 50% of senior leaders don’t understand the significance of their sponsorship roles in managing and succeeding at change.
Who should attend
Sponsor Briefings are ideal for organisational leaders who are driving change and need to understand their
roles as sponsors so they can drive impactful, meaningful change with measurable outcomes.
