We Provide
The Transformation You Require

Professionals who can look beyond their own profession are often capable to manage different processes of change at the same time. They have become aware of the fact that performance in the global business world requires more than just doing your job. It requires more than a professional mindset, and more skills and professional competences. This awareness triggers two questions: what do I need more than just my own experience, or my current professionalism? How to develop these experiences in a shorter period of time? It is for sure that the managers and professionals, responsible for change and innovation besides their own expertise, will have to find an answer.

The training and coaching program The Change Express will stimulate the process of looking beyond one’s own profession and discover what needs to be learned more. A practical set of training modules including tools, will support the (desired) learnings and required competences to manage challenging changes in organizations, especially when they occur unexpectedly, and immediate action is required. The Change Express training and coaching program provides people and their organizations with the boost required to realize their way forward. The acquired skills will remain for life.

Training and coaching program The Change Express

This program consists of three main modules, Know Thyself (individual level), Mind the Gap (team level), and Embrace the Future (organizational and societal level).

The Change Express what is it all about

As a change agent you need professional tools to support you in your work. The process of change is being described from the start to the end of the change process. 72 topics are covered (spread out over eight workbooks) which you will meet during the journey

Our approach is to support you to implement change in a structured and customized manner. ‘The Change Express’ will keep you as a Change Ambassador on track, from the very beginning to the ‘never ending story’ of continuous improvement. The key factor for the success or failure of an organization is the quality of the training used to implement and sustain change. ‘Change’ that will help create a socially responsible and profitable organization. With years of experience, the conclusion has reached that ‘implementing change processes’ requires a change in mindset and the ambition to continuously improve. These are the key elements to experience a paradigm shift. To realize transition means living the slogan: ‘It’s all about change.

Workbooks for managing change

The best time for learning is in daily practice. By actually going through a particular situation, by overcoming challenges and learning what the consequences of these challenges could be, you will increase your knowledge, skills and perspective. Doing so, you can try to improve yourself and see the direct result of your actions. The same goes for the process of implementation; but the stakes (for the organization and the people in it) are too high to learn how to manage the process of implementation by simply trying things out. These workbooks will support you in learning and enjoying the process of change and achieve your goals.

These workbooks can be used in various ways:

• As a self-manager and logbook for your change efforts

  You use these workbooks thoroughly, fill in every worksheet appropriate and derive your ́to-do-lists’ from these. You can keep these lists in the workbooks and also use it to note down your progress and ‘key learnings’. If you use it like this, you will have a complete record of the subject discussed in the workbooks, which can be used as reference material at a later date or if and when another major organizational change becomes necessary.

• As a reference and ‘trigger’

  In this case you use these workbooks less thoroughly, but refer to it regularly either when you get stuck or to refresh yourself on possible ways of handling issues that come up when an organizational change needs to be made. Reading through the subjects and worksheets in the workbooks will no doubt serve as a trigger or reminder of items supporting your journey.

• In meetings as a tool to align and direct a group or team

  Aside from using this guide yourself as a trigger and bringer of awareness, you can extend this function to group or team meetings as you see fit.

• As a combination of the above ways

  Obviously you should use these guidelines because it will assist you in handling major organizational change, manage yourself and help you structure the change in such a way that it will require the minimum of effort for a maximum return (which doesn’t mean to say that little effort is required). Secondly, it will provide you, the other people participating in the change and the organization itself with a common language regarding the implementation of change.

  Furthermore, it will heighten your awareness of all issues that arise before and during a change effort; on individual, team and organizational level.
