The Psychology of Change
Introduction
Success with enterprise architecture (EA) implies that the EA capability needs to be embedded within the organisation. This requires change management within and beyond the EA Practice. An actionable change leadership capability across the entire enterprise architecture team is essential, with each member acting as a change agent delivering business value.
Course Description
Many enterprise architecture (EA) implementations do not reach their full potential due to a failure in managing the “fuzzy” human aspects of organisational transformation. This course addresses the need to assess and prepare an organisation for transformation; the role of the change team; the implementation of awareness, communication, training and individual empowerment programmes; how to identify and address resistance and obstacles to change, and how to embed the transformation in the organisational culture so as to maintain the gains of change. Kotter’s principles for leading change, and the psychological aspects of human learning theory and change are incorporated. Practical exercises ensure relevance to the EA environment and provide delegates with an action plan for their own organisations.
