Catalysts of Change - Project Laneways’ Launches Training for ‘Local’ Change Agents

Announcement posted by Project Laneways 20 Nov 2017

Project Laneways is offering training courses at their centres in Sydney, Melbourne and Perth for ‘local’ change agents. The training course is aimed at those impacted by change. They are the ones who need to understand how to take on the change thrust upon them and how to make it work for themselves and in their area of the business.

Project Laneways has been delivering globally accredited Change Management and Project training to Australian organisations and professionals. At their centres business professionals can learn the theory and practice of change management and get fully accredited. The company is offering this course on an in-house basis.

The course looks at how the work that is being impacted by the change will affect change agents. It looks at ways of assimilating them into the thought process behind the change so that they adapt to the new ways of working effectively. Leaving instructions on how to work using authority is not an ideal way of ensuring a productive outcome. The course believes that to motivate change agents and to influence their behaviour, empathy and trust are essential. Local change agents need to be understood in order to motivate them. Change managers will need to take them into confidence and be able to communicate the need for change. Supporting local change agents involves motivating them positively so that they can see the greater benefits in the strategy. Showing them practical examples of existing issues that could be resolved with the new change initiatives can help change thinking and motivate staff that is involved in it.

Project Laneways’ trainers are aware of the crucial role a local change agent plays in the big picture. Without these agents organisations are crippled as these agents are involved in the implementation of change that takes place at the local level. They are the ones who interact with customers building new relationships and offering goods and services. Businesses will need to prepare local change agents early in the project lifecycle so that they can manage resistance positively, get them aboard and involved in the process. This new training course from Project Laneways will help build the local agents’ confidence in the outcome of the project, allow them to seek training and be trained in new processes. In the end for businesses the course will ensure a smooth transition to a newer productive work environment.
