The document describes the TakeON! Change series, a program that enables groups of leaders to navigate through change as it is happening in their business. It uses workshops and online resources to provide leaders with awareness, tools and support to successfully manage change. The program aims to build leaders' confidence and competence and promote effective teamwork. It focuses on applying learning directly to the current change challenges in a business, which leads to stronger individual development outcomes and better sustained business results. An example is provided of positive results experienced by a client after using the series to integrate their business following a merger.

CHANCES ARE, YOUR
BUSINESS IS ALREADY
ON A CHANGE JOURNEY.
LET’S START THERE.
For three decades, less than 40% of all change projects have been successful.
The TakeON! Change series uses the context of the change taking place in your
business right now to provide leaders and staff with the awareness, tools and
resources they need to successfully deal with any situation. It builds leaders’
confidence and competence and promotes effective teamwork.
TakeON! IS A PROGRAMME FOR
BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT THAT
GETS PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER
ON WHAT MATTERS MOST.
Are you
and your
people ready
to take
on that
journey?
Do you and
your people
understand
and support
the change?
Are your
managers
confident
and able to
lead the
change?
TakeON! SERIES – MANAGING CHANGE

2. TakeON! SERIES – MANAGING CHANGE
WHAT IS IT?
TakeON! Change is not like your typical programme that develops
leaders for change in the future.
IT’S A PROGRAMME THAT
ENABLES GROUPS OF LEADERS
TO NAVIGATE THROUGH CHANGE
AT THE POINT IT IS HAPPENING.
BY FOCUSING ON WHAT
MATTERS NOW, FOCUS AND
APPLICATION IS STRONGER.
THEREFORE THE INDIVIDUAL
DEVELOPMENT IS GREATER.
And, of course, the immediate outcomes being sought from the change
strategy of the business are better and more sustainable.

HOW IT WORKS
• A series of workshops with tools and
resources specifically picked to get managers
discussing the change at hand.
• Tailored and relevant topics selected from
a range of ourTakeON! change themes.
• Focused dialogue with managers around
the change, and actions to address the
current situation.
• All participants connected and collabo-
rating throughout, so learning is shared.
Typical Change Series themes might look like this. MANAGEMENT MATTERS: Dealing with Ambiguity; Emotional Resilience;
Managing Change. BUSINESS MATTERS: Appreciate and Celebrate; Ready, Willing and Able; From Challenge to Opportunity.
WHAT ARE THE RESULTS?
Sustained performance comes through:
• a shared vision for change
• engaged stakeholders
• everybody taking individual ownership
• improved change readiness and capability
• effective change leadership.
Because the learning is then applied
on-the-job, you can expect managers
and staff to:
• be more confident with the change
messages and approach
• be better aligned in terms of how they
approach the change with staff
• work together and support each other during
the change process – sharing perspectives,
experiences and ‘best practice’.

WHY IT WORKS
Key TakeON! principles underpin the approach
BUILT AROUND PAST
SUCCESSES
Groups share personal
experiences to build
consensus around how
to approach the current
challenges.
Because the pathway is
created from the past,
leaders are more confident
to move forward into an
uncertain future.
FOCUS IS ON THE
CURRENT CONTEXT
Development of leaders
occurs in the context of the
change challenge that they
and the business is facing.
Application of concepts
and tools is highly relevant
and immediate, which not
only maximises individual
development, but increases
business performance.
MOMENTUM GROWS
OVER TIME
Development occurs and
is applied throughout the
change journey. It is built
incrementally and is shaped
around the emerging needs
and challenges leaders face.
