Today's business environment, coupled with economic uncertainty, is a challenging place. Organisations are continually driven to develop new market strategies, improve response time and stave off non-traditional competitors. To stay ahead of competing companies, they must address marketplace demands swiftly and execute their new strategy initiatives flawlessly. Implementing new strategies in a changed world requires people at all levels in the organisation to be fully engaged and energised. However, change often results in employees who become frustrated, losing sight of what they do on a day-to-day basis. In response, the organisation quickly becomes reactive rather than proactive, losing the speed and adaptability that won customers in the first place. The organisation and its people often need help seeing change in positive, energising terms.

Working in Challenging Times™ is a one-day programme with concepts and application for committing one's own discretionary energy on implementing company strategy. Participants learn to understand and manage their own reactions and self-talk about changed events. They develop a sense of personal accountability for realising the positive potentialities in the change. The focus is on moving forward—both as an individual and in dialogue with co-workers.

Programme Outcomes

Working in Challenging Times™ is a powerful organisational development programme that will help individual contributors understand their role to implement business strategy during times of change, take charge of the change process that surrounds them and re-focus their energy to move positively through times of change.

Approach

Working in Challenging Times™ (WCT) is an instructor-led one-day programme that enables:

  • Face-to-face interaction among participants and with the facilitator
  • True-to-life skills practice with immediate in-person feedback
  • The opportunity for real-time commitment to action

Wilson Learning believes that learning must be transferred to day-to-day work practices. To achieve this, Working in Challenging Times™ includes components and activities that enhance:

Participant Readiness: Prepares participants and managers for the overall learning experience

  • Pre-workshop communication sets the context for learning.

Learning Transfer: Embeds practice and use of new skills in the learning design. The learning can be flexibly delivered as a:

  • One-day face-to-face application-oriented workshop.
  • All can be delivered in modular format over non-consecutive days to allow application between sessions.

The face-to-face workshop can be taught by a Wilson Learning facilitator or by an organisation’s own leader-trained in-house professional.

Organisational Alignment: Ensures the organisation supports the use of the new skills

  • Leading in Challenging Times™ (Optional)— is a two-day instructor-led programme for leaders to help understand their role in implementing business strategy during times of change
Enabling Improved Performance

As a result of completing the programme, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the link between organisational challenges and individual discretionary energy
  • Recognise patterns of energy loss and apply skills for re-focusing energy
  • Help themselves and others take stock of loss experiences and begin to move positively through the change
  • Take accountability for change by working with a mindset of opportunity

Some organisations expand the impact of the programme to the leaders and influencers by offering the two-day companion programme, Leading in Challenging Times™.

Evaluation
