Nonetheless, rapid economic changes and the growth in commercial opportunities have also increased the competition faced by many African organisations. Organisational success depends on anticipating and responding to change. In response to the need todevelop skills in effective change management, Manchester Business School and TEXEM partnered to develop a specially tailored executive education programme addressed at African executives– Strategies for Result-Driven ChangeManagement.
The programme is designed to meet the needs of the African executives and equip them with the strategies for managing inevitable change in their organisations. Delegates will focus on value-adding activities, cost-reduction solutions and sustainable growth strategies.
During the three-day course delegates will familiarize themselves with the types of organizational change, examine the barriers to change and ways of overcoming them to arrive at the discussion on the issues of sustainability in organizational development.
Through the tailored programme, participants will develop the competencies required to take a structured strategic approach to change management, create innovative solutions to strategy formulation and implementation, build resilience by developing executive capacity to manage change and improve communication and persuasion skills.
The executive education programme is unique in that it is specifically tailored for the African context. In addition, the course emphasizes results-driven approaches and sustainable strategies, ensuringthat executives will add value to their organisations.
AlimAbubakre, CEO, TEXEM said: “Every organisation needsto develop viable strategies torenew, transform and progress. This is particularly the case in the fast-moving African context. The forthcoming ‘Strategies for Results Driven Change Management’ programmewill equip African executives with leadership and management frameworksthat they require to manage processes of change. Critically, participants will learn how to practically implement these tools to help their organisations to succeed in a dynamic world”.
Dr Nicholas Clifford, Academic Director, Manchester Business School said: “Many techniques have been developed to assist managers to achieve outstanding results, however, the real skill is in knowing how to apply these techniques. This can only come from those who can both manage and lead their staff towards such results. At Manchester we place as much weight on leadership as we do on management because both are essential to achieve real and lasting organisational change.”
