I used the all change module to help with a cultural change course I was writing for the organisation. It worked so well and really highlighted to the participants the importance of sharing information and communicating effectively. It was a challenge for me, delivering the session, not to explain why I was asking the group to do so much but the effect it had following was worth the exercise. I recommend this module to really get people thinking about how to communicate change.

I used this with a group of participants currently undergoing many organisational changes. It was a really good activity to get them to consider changes they would like to make (personal or professional) and what is holding them back.
I paired up the delegates to discuss what they had written and for the partner to use coaching questions to look at helping them to break down barriers that they may have.
Very engaging, and it allowed open and honest conversations to be had as a result.

I used this exercise as part of a Finance Directorate away day for approx. 50 people. Fair to say it got a mixed response but it did bring some much needed light relief to what was a fairly heavy session. I had to amend the debrief questions quite a bit at the end but it was a useful energiser activity that refocuses on the importance of resilience. I am going to try it out again with a few smaller groups but this needs a bit of preparation around how you introduce and facilitate the end discussion if you are going to use it. Would recommend that you give it a try

I love the Trainers' Library wordsearches! I usually use them at the end of a training session to bring the session to a close. I give individuals a few minutes to find as many words as they can and then have them come up to the flipchart to mark a word on the large copy and tell the group a bit about the item they've marked, in this case why that thing is linked to/important for Change Management.

A really simple and yet great opener to a change program which enables people to explore their different reactions to change. I've used this a few times now and it always create some great discussions.

This activity was written as a way to reflect on and move forward from the pandemic of 2020. However, it can be easily adapted and used not just to review a year, but, for example, a challenging experience or significant change that participants have been through. This can be a useful way to launch training around resilience, change or a planning session.

I used 'course introduction' with a group on a departmental awayday. This really focused participants on the rationale for the day and allowed the groundrules to be discussed in a way that wouldn't have happened otherwise. The 'expectations of each other' allowed discussion of acceptable and desirable behaviour to be clearly stated in a department where several staff members are overbearing and dominatiing in such meetings usually. The main content of the day was more fruitful once this had happened.

This is one of my favourite change activities. Sharing the change curve and looking at feelings that are totally naturally experienced by all when going through change really helps participants who are going through change and manage change to understand themselves and others in addition to moving on to look at what can be done at each stage to move people and themselves through change.

This is a good ice-breaker exercise when looking at any aspect of change. It was felt though that there were far too many initial statements, which did cause the exercise to become tedious towards the end. In future sessions I would recommend that the statements be reduced to those that are more applicable to (your) current organisational change. The exercise would then work as a very good introduction to a short or full day course.

I used this exercise to help people assess how they feel towards change. Delegates may think that they know how they feel about change and how they cope with it. However, by giving them this task it makes them think about change in a different way and it promotes an honest and open discussion.

I used this activity last week in a management development workshop and it was great for getting the team to generate lots of ideas then we were able to move on to assessing these against our criteria.
Easy to use, generated good results and I would use again.
