FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON AND INSTITUTE FOR CHANGE LEADERSHIP
ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION TO OFFER CERTIFICATE IN CHANGE LEADERSHIP
HOUSTON -- August 19, 2003 -- Lauren Kirby,
director, Corporate Training Services of the University of
Houston’s Continuing Education Center and Corporate Training
Group, and Mike Campbell, director of The Institute for Change
Leadership, the research and education arm of management
services firm Holland & Davis, LLC, today announced their
collaboration to offer a certificate program in change
leadership.
Each year corporations launch
mission-critical projects involving billions of dollars in
capital investment. Less than half of these projects meet their
business goals. This performance gap presents real challenges
for corporate executives who must demonstrate, now more than
ever, their capabilities to employ financial and human capital
to position their companies for competitive advantage. The
certificate program in change leadership is specifically
designed to fill the business performance gap.
“The four courses that make up the change
leadership certification program are 100% ‘how to’ make change
happen, focusing exclusively on those ‘must do’ actions and
activities that move projects forward and get desired results,”
says Campbell. The four core change leadership certification
program courses are:
-
Engineering
Change: Knowing What to Do and How to Do It
-
Breaking the
Rules: Getting Payoffs…for a Change
-
Bulletproof
Communications about Change: How to Say It and How to Do It
-
Reversing the
Roles: Getting IT to Work for You…for a Change
Dr. Winford E. “Dutch” Holland, author of
Change Is the Rule and Red Zone Management and
chairman of Holland & Davis, LLC, Management Consultants says,
“Highly effective managers are able to ‘change their business’
as well as they ‘run their business’. Most leaders have been
well prepared to run their business, but most have not been
prepared to change their business (see attached graphic). Your
business education is incomplete until you have learned the
critical ‘how to’ details of change leadership and change
management from people who have been there, done that…and done
it well.”
Kirby comments, “Our certificate program in
change leadership will give our participants a solid foundation
for planning and executing ‘mission-critical’ projects. We are
very fortunate to have nationally recognized experts developing
the program curriculum and veterans of ‘big change’ teaching the
classes.”
