Change Management Skills Assessment Instrument

"Everything that can be invented has already been invented!" This statement was made in 1899 by Charles Duell, Director of the U.S. Patent Office. He was clearly wrong, and of course, just the opposite has happened. Inventions and change are occurring at an ever-increasing rate in our personal lives and in our organizations.

John has developed two Change Management Assessment Instrument. The Change Management Assessment Instrument helps people to assess their knowledge and skills about the principles for introducing change, sustaining the momentum during the transition period, and institutionalizing the changes so that they stick.

The Change Resilience Skills Assessment Instrument helps participants assess their capacity at bouncing back and not getting worn down by all of the changes we experience in this busy world we live in. Participants assess whether they are "danger oriented" or "opportunity oriented" people and identify the degree to which they have core characteristics of resilient people.

John uses these instruments in the Change Management Workshops he conducts. Learning objectives typically include:

1. Develop increased awareness of the types of changes you are experiencing.
2. Understand the principles and "best practices" associated with implementing change.
3. Apply the "change management best practices" to changes you are experiencing.
4. Explore the common reactions they and others are experiencing to real changes.
5. Develop skills to increase your resilience to change, and the resilience of your employees, and understand ways to foster positive attitudes of workers.
6. Understand the "Leadership Practices for Creating a Culture for Change."
7. Develop personal action plans for implementing change management principles.
