The profitable change

An effective 2-day program for all companies facing a constant demand for increased profitability – which can best be achieved by an in-depth knowledge of three basic factors: Market mechanisms, efficiency principles and Human Resources – and the interaction between them. In the constant dynamics between them, there is rarely a “one silver bullet solution” – because in profitable changes the elements are connected. We need to see the bigger picture. The seminar is structured so that the participants on the first day get knowledge of the theories, models and assumptions that are part of the concept “The profitable change“. On day two, the theories are translated into the reality of the participants. Participants are given opportunities to practice the tools and the new understanding in everyday life.

Take home value:

Most companies have a large amount of control over efficiency, and concepts like Lean Manufacturing have become a common tool seen at many companies. Many companies are also good at monitoring market developments. So the obvious growth area in relation to profitability is not just about smart technology, but about people – about understanding, developing and unleashing human potential in a new way – “The Inner Leadership”.

• The successful process of change – learn about the four basic conditions
• Optimize the ability of the employees to “lead themselves” in a way that is beneficial for the company.
• From labor costs to increased profitability – human resources are a strategic competitive parameter
• Visions that are not rooted in the values of the organization creates employees that are demotivated

Content

“One person alone cannot keep up with the tidal wave of information that comes from all disciplines. If you think you can, then you are acting on a deficient, and often downright dangerous, flimsy base of information. If we continue like this, we will not be able to take advantage of development. It is important to learn to see the bigger picture rather than just sub-aspects thereof. We are therefore “forced” to use each others knowledge if we want to gain a holistic insight into the foundation of sustainable decisions. Therefore a new form of cooperation is needed”, writes author and teacher Sebastian Nybo – who is the teaches at this seminar.

Form

The seminar is based on the concept “The Profitable Change“. The purpose of the seminar is to train the participants in applying a holistic way of thinking about the principles of change, so that they can effectively transfer the models, theories and analytical tools included in the seminar into their own daily management. On day two, the teachers will include the participants’ own cases, so that the seminar alternates between intensive teaching and exercises based on real life experiences. The course alternates between exercises, presentations and reflections from their own practice. And you will leave the course with knowledge and a series of tools that are directly applicable in your everyday life as a leader.

14:15 Success factors

Success factor # 1: Learning to learn
Creating lasting change requires a learning process where everyone says goodbye to outdated behavior patterns and where the employees not only learn new routines instead of the old ones, but they”learn to learn.”

Success factor # 2: Increasing readiness for change
Learn to understand why change is often met with resistance – and what you can do to turn resistance into a readiness for change. Both as human beings and as an organization, we must of course say goodbye to previous assumptions, attitudes and values when they no longer make sense. It can cause internal unrest. In attitude processing and culture change, communication and authentic dialogue are crucial factors in the learning process that reduce the resistance to change ”.

Success factor no. 3: Mediator of change
Having to “stand in front” in a change process is a task for the management. It is absolutely crucial for the result, that the senior staff can show a special presence for the employees and keep a strategic focus on the vision – at the same time. Change management is developing the potential for holistic innovation.

ALK-Abello and Trotters say…

”The seminar guides the student through the use of the different tools which focus on the bottom line of business, and that a modern company must always be in “motion” and thus ready for change. The book and course manage to integrate business strategy and human resources in an elegant way; a fantastic management tool.”
Kirsten Harting, Director
ALK-Abello A/S
