New PowerUp course: Change management

Stylized figures interacting with floating business elements like a calculator, clock, digital checklist, and calendar. One figure stands on a step ladder.

Here’s a fun paradox – Change is the only constant! It is in the nature of the world to constantly be changing and for businesses to be on a constant lookout for change. Tech changes, tools change, markets change, businesses change. And let’s be real, change is rarely easy. Change can’t be predicted, and that makes it tough.

2024 has been a year of change for business with some major disruptors. We’ve seen 124,000+ layoffs across 380+ tech companies worldwide so far, and we are only just starting Q4. AI has surged in popularity and adoption. It’s possible you don’t feel prepared. How do you prepare for something you can’t time or fully predict? Maybe we need to approach change not with preparation, but with management.

At PowerToFly, we understand that change can be volatile and unforeseen, but it’s inevitably a factor that influences all businesses and all industries. While it is not always possible to see change coming, it is possible to see that we have the right toolkit needed to avert crisis and adapt to change. We’ve got you covered with the new and exclusive change management course.

What does the course cover?

The course spans six modules, each of which contains several important lessons on organizational integrity and efficacy during the times of change.

Module 1

Let’s start by discussing change from the ground up. In this module, you’ll start with a talk on change management that aims to first understand the psyche and the science behind why change has to be made. Why does it frighten us? Specifically, what does it mean for a business? Right from the first module, you’ll dive head-first into what management of change looks like for organizations (both big and small, and we’ll also share an exclusive PowerToFly handy resource on field analysis for change.

Module 2

Now that we have set the base and the tone for change management, let’s get deeper. This module kicks-off with unique strategies and tips on how to go about change management.

We’ll cover stakeholder analysis, devising the right metrics and goals to set the theme in compliance with the change. Did you know there are many types of change? Don’t worry, you’ll also learn how to create the right change implementation plan.

It’s often not the inability to come up with a plan but the inability to design the right plan that foils change-readiness. Get a sneak peek with this guide on how to implement change on your team successfully.

Module 3

So, you’ve implemented the change management before it becomes a problem. Good strategy! However, that’s only half the work, and the way to manage changing landscapes or to even bring about a change is to ensure it’s sustainable and scalable. We explore communication strategies and monitoring plans to ensure the change is executable.

Module 4

Rounding up our discussion on change management tips and techniques, this module puts you back in touch with your new lessons and does a quick review. This is also where we start looking at what the broader picture looks like after the change management course and the potential it has for your business.

Module 5

Of course, we wouldn’t leave you hanging. At the end of this module, you’ll have a tangible resource to surf through tides of change smoothly, no matter how rough the ocean. You’ll receive a downloadable PDF to help you formulate strategies, recall these lessons, monitor the efficiency of your change management models, aid your implementation, and more!

Module 6

How about a detailed assessment of where you and your business stand in terms of change management? Maybe an analysis and review of the progress you have made and what these new strategies can do for you?
