change designs products

“I’ve been working in project and change management in the public sector within Toronto, Canada for the past 27 years. It is refreshing and delighting to visit South Africa (the home of tremendous change) and to come across the tools and products that are available through Change Designs.

The products are easy to use, creative and beautifully put together.  They are chalk full of effective, practical techniques that have a positive impact and support the successful implementation of any change initiative. What I particularly like is that the tools can also be easily adapted within any existing framework or model! I’m so impressed with these products that I am happy to spread the word – that the Change Design products are a must have in any change agents resource tool kit!”

Susan, Ksiezopolski PMP® Manager, Project Management Consulting and Development Group, Project Management Centre of Excellence Toronto, Ontario.

manage 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.
