Even change changes | Paul Kirkbride

Back in 2009, when the dust of the GFC began to settle and its impacts appeared in full view, Paul Kirkbride recognised a transformation in the training and development landscape. Attitudes shifted and companies began to target their change management and training budget more sensibly. (HR Monthly, 1 December 2009)

For each organisation a critical choice arose:

· Continue to manage in the same way, struggling with the same issues and getting the same results.

or

· Step into a completely new way of seeing, thinking, being and leading, offering new possibilities for organisational success.

Moving now to 2011, here is an opportunity to take part in an intensive two day Executive Series program with Paul Kirkbride. Paul will provide you with new knowledge and new thinking on the topic of creating change within your organisation, bringing it into the new year with success.
