People who are resilient work smarter, and can negotiate the inevitable changes that are the one certainty of life.  People who know what teamwork really means can turn good teams into great ones.

The Challenge of Change, uniquely developed from ongoing academic research and firmly evidence-based, applies cutting-edge psychology to training, assessment and development.  Designed by internationally renowned psychologist Dr Derek Roger, thousands of individuals both in the UK and NZ have already benefited from its often ‘life changing’ impact.

What can the CoC do for my organisation?

Wellbeing is a strategic issue, and can be the difference between an organisation succeeding or failing.  People who are happy and well make the best employees, freeing individuals to perform at their best for both their and the organisation's benefit.

Developing Resilience
The Challenge of Change (CoC) Resilience programme works with people to help them identify personal strengths and weaknesses and to develop resilience.  Under the protective guidance of Dr Derek Roger and his team of Accredited Associates individuals regain the feeling of being in control and feel empowered to perform better.

An Integrated Training System
The CoC Resilience programme is complemented by a teamwork training programme entitled the CoC Dream Team. The CoC Dream Team programme is used to identify clearly what a highly-functioning team is, and can be used to form and consolidate new teams, to identify and address problems in teams that are not functioning well, and to help good teams become great ones.

Benefits for the Organisation
Thousands of workers in the UK and NZ have already benefited from The Challenge of Change training programmes.  The significant positive advantages the training has brought to organisations that have implemented it include:

  • Increased retention and loyalty
  • Increased productivity and performance
  • Increased insight to enable perfecting of personnel strategies
  • Improvements in overall organisational capability and coping ability
  • Better company-wide communication
  • Better integration and co-operation amongst individuals and teams
  • Ability to pursue longer term employee care strategies
  • Addressing work/life issues
  • Enables the impact of HR strategies to be evaluated to create HR return on investment calculations

The suite of integrated services that make up The Challenge of Change training system have been designed to begin with the individual and then to extend outwards to include teams and the organisation as a whole.

All programmes have been developed from Dr Roger’s ongoing research, which began at the University of York in England and continues today at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand.
