Course Objectives

Human Resources sits at the centre of organisational change and transformation.
HR leaders are expected to translate strategy into people plans, support leaders and employees through disruption, and shape cultures that can adapt, learn, and perform.
Yet HR is often brought into major change initiatives too late or positioned as a support function rather than a strategic driver of transformation.
At the same time, organisations face intensifying pressures: digitalisation, new workforce expectations, shifting regulatory requirements, skills shortages, hybrid and remote working models, and the need to embed diversity, equity, and inclusion.
These forces demand a more proactive, evidence-based, and agile approach to change led in partnership between HR and the business.
This intensive 5-day programme is designed specifically for HR and People leaders who want to strengthen their change management capability and build their organisation’s readiness for transformation.
It combines practical change frameworks with HR-specific tools for workforce planning, employee experience, talent, and culture.
Through case studies, simulations, and structured exercises, delegates will learn how to diagnose change readiness, design people-centre change strategies, engage stakeholders, and support leaders and employees through complex transitions.
Particular emphasis is placed on the role of HR in enabling agile ways of working, developing critical skills, and sustaining behavioural change.
