Change management programmes often fail for one simple reason: they underestimate the risk and skip preparing for what happens when things don't go to plan. This advanced course from the Arab British Fellowship Training Academy is built around exactly that gap, focusing on time, adversity, and persistence rather than just the theory of change.

Delivered by a team of internationally experienced leaders and managers, the course sharpens participants' leadership map, builds their resilience against resistance, and works through the cultural and behavioural side of transformation. It closes with action-planning exercises so the knowledge and skills gained can be applied the moment participants return to work.

Who Should Attend?

• Heads of organisations, chief officers, and chairpersons.
