PDCM: Change Management

Change should be embraced and used for the growth of any organisation in New Zealand. Internal changes must be implemented after the creation of new strategy, or a shift in human resource planning. However most organisations are not prepared for internal changes to policies or external strategies. An organisation that plans and prepares for change is better able to overcome these challenges.This course provides training in each step of the planning, preparation and implementation stages of a change to allow organisations to grow steadily in spite of constant changes caused by both internal and external forces.This course is delivered in partnership with PD Training.

Change is a constant in many of our lives. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas, and methods often change, affecting the way we perform daily tasks and live our lives.
