Change management that sticks

The kick-off was great. And three months later, everyone is back to doing the same old thing. Recognizable? That’s what these two days are about.

Lasting change management is the two-day Supply Value Academy training on organizational change that continues after the project phase. The training is based on proven change management models, including the ADKAR approach, and is entirely about the change that participants themselves are responsible for.

Why this training

Plans are rarely the answer. Plans are also rarely the answer when people “don’t want” them. Resistance is almost always a logical reaction to a change that is not well designed or explained. The question is therefore not how to break resistance, but how to prevent and utilize it.

For two days, you work on your own change process: from an honest analysis (why would anyone want to participate in this?) to an approach per target group and a plan for the phase in which attention wanes, exactly where most changes fail.

You can do this afterwards

  • You analyze a change from the perspective of the people who have to implement it (including using ADKAR).
  • You design a change approach per target group: from frontrunners to silent doubters.
  • You recognize resistance early, indicate what is underneath and turn it into actionable signals.
  • You secure the change after the project phase: leadership, rhythm, and measuring what sticks.

Target group

Project managers, program managers, team leaders, advisors and HR professionals who drive or support change, from system implementation to organizational transformation.

Prerequisites: No theoretical knowledge required; having your own (upcoming) change process to work on is a big plus.

Program

  • Why changes happen: the five patterns you see everywhere
  • The human side structured: ADKAR and what it actually brings you
  • Target group analysis of your change: who needs to do what differently, and what does that require
  • Your story of change: one message that answers the “why” and the “why now”
  • Choosing interventions: communication, training, role modeling, and system adaptation
  • Practicing resistance conversations, including the conversations you’d rather avoid
  • The forgotten phase: securing the commitment as attention shifts to the next project
  • Your change management approach in one A3, ready to take with you to your steering group

Trainer

Anne IJkema

Your trainers guide transformations at public and private organizations, led by Anne IJkema [verify]. They share what worked in their own journeys, and with just as much pleasure what tragically failed, because that’s where the lesson lies.

Frequently asked questions

No. We use models like ADKAR as tools, not as a goal. Most of the time, you work on your own change process and practice the conversations that go along with it.

Indeed, most change is driven by people without that title: project managers, team leads, advisors. The training is built exactly around that practice.
