Do you struggle with resistance? Are you afraid of 'difficult people sabotaging your change?' With this simple yet powerful tool, you can ensure that you, your leaders, your change agents and your managers never have to fear resistance again. For a mere R170 (or less for volume orders), get a tool that you can use over and over again, during any change.
How it works:
When introducing a change, people react in different ways. Some are unaware that the change applies to them. Some are angry or resistant. Some fear change. Others are excited. With the change cycle cards it doesn’t matter how people react.
All you have to do is listen to what people are saying.
Then match what they are saying to the relevant card in this pack. This will tell you what stage of the change cycle the person is in.
Read the back of the card to find out what action you need to take as a leader, to move them to the next stage of the change cycle.
A participative tool for planning the implementation of any
project or strategy.

A participative tool for planning the
implementation of any project, strategy or cultural change. At the
start of any project, get all the stakeholders together to play 'Winning
the Game of Change'. This game is a powerful tool for
getting buy in, defining roles and planning the implementation of
any complex change. It is based on the best practices of
successful strategy implementation and change management. After
playing the game for a few hours, all stakeholders will walk away with
a comprehensive change strategy. This is an ideal starting
point for a consultant to use when planning a project with a
client.
