Transforming Whitehall - managing the change

With all Whitehall departments facing significant budget reductions it will simply not be enough to 'trim around the edges'.

Working out what should change to deliver better for less and how to effectively manage the transition are key questions for leadership within departments.

Two leading academics in people management and leadership joined us for a round table discussion:

•  Andrew Kakabadse - Professor of International Management Development at the Cranfield University, School of Management
•  Shaun Tyson - Emeritus Professor of Human Resource Management at Cranfield University, School of Management.

They shared lessons they have learned from working with organisations who were managing organisational changes which were extensive in scope and affected the mission and the organisation culture significantly.

This seminar particularly focused at individuals working within the change or organisational design functions of departments.
