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 has been implemented in a wide range of public and private sector companies both in the UK and NZ. Here in NZ adoption is gathering momentum amongst leading organisations including Meridian Energy, The Warehouse, Provenco, Hort Research, AgResearch, Auckland Regional Council and the Department of Internal Affairs.

Their leadership development programme was recognized as the “HR Initiative of the Year” for 2005 by the Human Resources Institute of New Zealand.

    Cynthia Johnson, OD Leader
    “I work for a science organization which employs many highly qualified researchers and support staff, so anything we introduce has to be intellectually and academically credible. The fact that The Challenge of Change is backed by academic research made a great fit with our organization and it has been very well received. More importantly, months after the course I still hear people referring to the principles they learned on the course and discussing their practice of them.

    I think one of the most helpful (though challenging) messages of the course is that stress is about rumination and hence if we can control this we can manage our stress, despite all the things that may be happening around us. This gives a lot of power and control back to the individual.

    I have no problem recommending the course both within our organization and externally.”
