Kotter (2008) suggests that just 30% of change management projects are likely to be successful. Often this lack of success is linked to ‘people factors’ – i.e. where buy-in from stakeholders, communication and wider staff engagement has been ineffective.

WHAT DO OUR CLIENTS SAY?
“Sharon delivered two great sessions for leaders in our new ‘Transformation and Delivery team’ which helped them understand not only how to help others change but also how to manage their own feelings and attitudes to ensure that they are fully behind the change. The team had a productive and enjoyable day which has equipped them to translate their learning into their day to day work.”
Penny Aspden, Director. Torus Group.
"We are sustainability specialists helping organisations improve their use and management of resources. Cognoscenti delivered a training session for us on the psychology of changing sustainability behaviors. The session was excellent and gave us some useful theory and practice to help us to better focus the communications and behavior change strategies that we develop for our customers."
Sharon was recently interviewed by Elise Stevens (fixmyprojectchaos) about the benefits of project managers using a coaching style with their teams. You can catch the interview here.
