Managing Change-The Only Way To Survive & Thrive

 

Trainer: Anil Bhatnagar

Duration: 3 days

 

A. About The Workshop:

 

Successful past or present often blocks our vision to the successful future. Those who cannot compete and cannot change with the changing scenario are always left behind. Organizations with successful futures are open to new ideas and are willing to explore different new ways of doing things, because that is the only way to keep the doors to the future open.

 

As per a study conducted by Shell Group each of the historic 27 companies studied by them that have lasted for over 100 years, changed their `business-lanes’ at least once in their lives. Japan’s Sumitomo has its origins in a copper casting shop founded  by Riemon Soga in 1590. Swedish company Stora, a major paper, pulp and chemical manufacturer began as a copper mine more than 700 years ago. Du Pont, 200 years old began as a gun powder company is now a specialty chemical company. Mitsui, 300 years old was a drapery shop to begin with, became a bank, got into mining and moved into manufacturing towards the end of the nineteenth century. These companies have managed to live so long only because they did not resist the change.

 

The workshop makes people aware of the losses they may be incurring, in personally and collectively as a team, because of their unconscious internal and external blocks, and how to overcome these. It also trains them into identifying and implementing the right changes timely and adequately.
