Workshop Dates
Our workshops are usually delivered in-house although from time to time we offer open programmes. For details of forthcoming events, please contact us: enquiries@irvingandirving.com.
How We Run the Workshop: Dynamic & Hands-On
To enable the programme to be truly hands-on, participants are encouraged to bring with them examples of current or forthcoming changes; for project implementation teams this means working on their live change. This approach enables participants to develop a set of strategies and tactics for managing their change as soon as they return to the workplace as well as build their change expertise for application more widely.
To ensure the programme is truly dynamic, we combine facilitator led input with a range of highly interactive and engaging activities. Depending on the preferences of the group and on the key issues at hand, we will use as wide a selection possible from the following formats:
- small group work
- storytelling
- games
- experiential exercises
- role play
- demonstration
- group discussion
We have a successful history of supporting clients to manage change in a variety of settings and our skilled facilitators are committed to ensuring the success of organisational change.
