In organisaties is veranderen is een continu proces van afscheid nemen en ‘opnieuw’ beginnen. Veranderen gaat nooit vanzelf en vaak niet van harte.
De oude situatie is bekend, de nieuwe onzeker. De verhoudingen in het team en de organisatie komen in beweging en dat roept weerstand op. Veranderen en een gevoel van verlies is
ons bekend. Het gevoel van nieuwe kansen minder.
In de studieconferentie Leading Change wordt samen onderzocht wat verandering is, langs welke procesmatige fasen verandering verloopt, en op welke wijze wij
verandering (beter) kunnen sturen. Daarbij is het van belang dat we ons realiseren, dat wij zelf deel van die verandering zijn.
Kennis van en inzicht in de betekenis van veranderingen in ons eigen leven en werk vormen dan ook de basis voor een professionele aanpak.
Veranderingsmanagement is de rechterhand van Implementeren. Iedereen die zich met Implementeren bezig houdt is ook Change agent. Dat vraagt ervaring, inzicht en ontwikkeling.
In de Leading Change conferentie kan hieraan gewerkt worden.
Voor aanmelding en informatie kunt u vrijblijvend contact met ons opnemen.
De dag wordt ingedeeld in 3 dagdelen. In korte introducties en aan de hand van oefeningen die op de praktijk zijn gebaseerd worden onder meer met de volgende thema's gewerkt:
De dag wordt afgerond met het maken van een eigen plan voor verdere ontwikkeling en Integratie in de praktijk van het eigen werk.
In deze studieconferentie wordt een aanzet gegeven door de ontwikkeling van eigen inzicht in verandering als proces en inzicht in persoonlijke mogelijkheden om daar professioneel mee om te gaan. Daarbij wordt ook gewerkt aan visieontwikkeling.

There are four qualities which support optimal performance which are relatively universal. Suzanne Kobasa and Salvadore Madi investigated three factors which they felt would provide resistance to stress and promote performance during stressful periods. John Adams and Sabina Spencer have added a fourth “hardiness” or resistance, factor as a result of their explorations in a large number of organizations. The greater the presence of these four qualities, the better the performance and the healthier the stress level.
The four factors are easy to remember because they all begin with the letter — CHALLENGE, CONTROL, COMMITMENT, and CLARITY. When these four factors are present, in the manner described below, they promote sustainable, satisfying high level performance. Look over the following descriptions and draw some conclusions as to the presence or absence of each in your life and work today. In each case, there are both personal and worksite aspects of the quality to consider.
| CHALLENGE | ||
|
PERSONAL Do you approach life with the outlook that It presents a series of opportunities for you to learn from? Do you turn problems and obstacles into developmental challenges? When life gives you a lemon, do you make lemonade? |
WORKPLACE Does the workplace provide you with an appropriate amount of challenge? That is, are you stretched sufficiently in your present work to learn new things; and not stretched so much that you feel blown away with overload or complexity? |
|
| CONTROL | ||
|
PERSONAL Do you feel that most of the time you are in control of your life? Do you have goals that you are working toward? Do you feel responsible for what you are getting from life? Are you the Captain of your own ship? |
WORKPLACE Does the workplace provide you with enough direction, and at the same time allow you sufficient discretion to approach things in the ways you know work best for you? As you develop in a particular assignment, are you given progressively more freedom? |
|
| COMMITMENT | ||
|
PERSONAL Do you feel highly committed to your own growth and development? Are you dedicated to exploring the opportunities life provides? Do you believe in yourself and are you committed to realizing your full potential? |
WORKPLACE Are you aware of how your work fits into the larger scheme of things? Do you feel that your work is making an important contribution to an important service or product? Are you able to get involved in important aspects of your unit’s work? |
|
| CLARITY | ||
|
PERSONAL Do you have a dear sense of purpose and direction in your life? Are you dear about who you are, what you want, what you need and what you can do? |
WORKPLACE Are you dear about the direction and purpose of your work unit your organization? Are you dear about what is expected of you and the standards on which your performance is judged? Are the roles and responsibilities dear in your work team? |
|
If all of these qualities are in good working order in your life and your work, you are likely to be highly satisfied with how things are going for you and likely to feel quite empowered. Most people, however, find that there is some room for improvement. If this is true in your case, please consider the following questions.
