Why use this Change Toolkit?
If you are leading a change project or if your team is having to make changes to what it does and how it works, then this toolkit can help. It uses the idea of a ‘Change Curve’ to help you understand the journey people take when faced with change. And it offers tools, techniques and advice for each stage on that journey.
Across the public sector we’ve identified a need to improve how we lead and support our people through change. We think the ‘people side’ of change is often the weakest link in our change programmes. As a result, a lot of change initiatives fail. And a lot of people experience change at work as difficult, negative and stressful. Now, more than ever, we must change for the better.
You know the best thing about change? It never stands still! Keep up to date with everything to do with change by browsing through our Change Toolkit tools. It’s even better than your average change management website because you can put related stuff in as well as taking it out – and you can leave reviews and recommendations too. Whether it’s a groundbreaking technique, a videolink from an inspirational speaker, some news on related change programmes or a government consultation paper, if it helps us all change for the better then this is where you might find something of value.
So the Change Toolkit is one way in which we can all work together to ‘build capacity’ for successful change. Whether you are the person who has to make change happen, a manager leading a team through change or an individual being asked to do things differently, we hope the information shared between the people using this site can make your life and your job easier!
