About the Course

This practical workshop session is for anyone interested in leading change within their organisation, department or team. We’ll examine principles that underpin processes of change and explore strategies for effectively managing change. There will be opportunities to apply tools and techniques from the world of Organisational Change, and consider how the science of change management developed in business can be applied to the arts and to your own workplace.

In this session we will look at unpacking change-management tools and models, and practice applying them to scenarios specific to the arts. You will be encouraged to reflect on your impact in your organisation and supported to identify what actions you can take to achieve enduring and impactful change.

This course is suitable for anyone working in an arts organisation who has been tasked with, or who is interested, in driving change internally.
