Change Management Workshop Activities

This opening activity works well for topics that deal with the challenges of change. It is adapted from an activity developed and used by Crestcom, a management and leadership development company.

Creative, fun, energizing exercise.

Useful technique to examine the consequences of doing nothing.

Use this model to support the group in making own decisions. Great if you want to stop complains and start implementation.

This activity uses people who have undergone major organizational changes. Participants interview them to come up with a list of guidelines for coping with change.

This method helps groups assess the potential impacts of future changes, both positive and negative, and reflect on how resilient they are to different types of disruption. It supports balanced, practical conversations that go beyond excitement or fear, focusing instead on preparation and adaptability.
