Managing Organisational Change

Creative United present a webinar with business consultant Ellen O’Hara who will share tools and techniques for taking a more dynamic approach to managing organisational change in heritage settings.

This webinar was updated and distilled into a written resource in 2022 – read it here.

Virtually every organisation will, at some point, undergo a transition or change in order to remain relevant and viable. The last 12 months have been a time of unprecedented uncertainty and volatility for the heritage sector, requiring rapid shifts and new approaches to managing organisational change in heritage. Changes in working practices, changes to the needs of our audiences and communities, and the possibility of rethinking core purposes have all brought new challenges for organisations to respond to.

The need for more dynamic approaches to planning has been acutely highlighted. Yet working in a more dynamic way, without fit for purpose tools, can increase pressure on personal and organisational capacity.

As the heritage sector reopens and re-establishes itself it will be important to look at how we can embrace change in a way that is manageable and that can lead to productive, rather than destructive, outcomes.

In this webinar, Ellen will share how to take a more dynamic approach to change by exploring:

• Personal and organisational capacity for change
• Tools for planning in a more dynamic and flexible way
• Tools for implementing, managing and delegating change

The session will consider the importance of organisational culture alongside more tangible approaches, and will provide you with a toolkit of ideas that will allow you to approach change with more confidence.
