Introduction Key Learning Outcomes Training Methodology Who Should Attend? Outline

Introduction

Organisational change is a consistent source of risk. As structures shift, processes evolve, and technologies are introduced, clarity can weaken and control routines may erode—often while performance expectations remain unchanged. Managers responsible for delivery during transition must balance uncertainty, maintain standards, and protect accountability under pressure.

The Managing Change, Performance and Risk Course equips professionals to lead through change with discipline and clarity. It focuses on recognising risks created by transition, sustaining oversight, managing people and performance pressures, communicating effectively, and embedding change without creating avoidable exposure. The course emphasises practical leadership behaviours that preserve control integrity while enabling progress.

Key focus areas include:

Identifying people, process, technology, and compliance risks during change
Maintaining control discipline and role clarity through transition
Managing performance pressure without shortcuts or drift
Communicating priorities, risks, and escalation clearly

Key Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Managing Change, Performance and Risk training course, participants will be able to:

Analyse risks introduced by organisational change across people, process, and technology
Apply control continuity practices to maintain standards during transition
Manage performance pressure while preventing shortcuts and control drift
Lead clear communication and stakeholder alignment throughout change
Escalate risks and constraints with appropriate timing and evidence
Embed change sustainably while reducing disruption and repeat failures

Training Methodology

This Managing Change, Performance and Risk training course uses realistic change scenarios, risk hotspot workshops, and applied simulations to build practical leadership capability.
