Overview
Whether legislative, economic or social, the public sector must effectively manage and adapt to change.
In order to ensure change is successfully embedded, senior public sector managers and leaders must take into account organisational culture and behaviour. A lack of a clear strategy or understanding can hinder change, rather than allow it to flourish.
This Enabling Effective Cultural Change course will give you the knowledge and skills to adapt behaviours and culture to embed change within your organisation.
