ZOP1004: Leading Change and Driving Performance

Program Overview

Organisations constantly say one of their greatest strategic imperatives is having a senior team which is well equipped to lead change and align performance to strategy. Leading a change process while aligning an organisation’s vision and strategy with its people, culture, operating environment, performance metrics and stakeholder expectations can make or break an organisation’s financial success.

By participating in this program, executives will augment their skills to lead change processes and implement management performance metrics. While the program draws on change and performance management theory, it provides practical tools for managing change processes, and aligning strategy to performance metrics.

The program also explores how to leverage the “people factor” in successfully leading change and driving organisational performance.

Program participants will explore key issues underpinning change management, and individual and collective performance in the attainment of strategic goals. An experiential and case study approach is applied to tools and approaches such as: the balanced scorecard, SWOT analysis, force field analysis, McKinsey “7 S” model, emotional intelligence, human behaviour, and individual coaching.
