As public sector communications, we constantly see the importance of effective change communications, in making change work.

And in the context of increasing demands on NHS organisations and Councils’ time and resources, calls for increased efficiencies, the cost of living crisis and a need to prove value for our audiences, there’s a lot of change about.

So where do communications fit in the wider change landscape? What is change management, and how does it sit alongside communications? How do we create the right states and environment to help change happen as we want it to? And how does understanding people, their motives and strengths help achieve successful change projects?

Join Change Management experts from our partners Clarion Insight for a short introduction to change management essentials – from understanding the context for change in your organisation to creating psychologically safe environments in which to encourage change to flourish. Learn how communications is a vital part of the journey to change, and how you can work alongside change experts to make a real difference in your organisations and places.

This introductory webinar will support you to learn:

• What Change Management is and about some key Change Management
  frameworks and models.

  understanding people’s motives, strengths and reaction to challenge and
