Digital Era: A fresh perspective on change
7 September 2022
11:00 - 12:00
Online
INTRODUCTION
What does it need to become a digital leader in the microfinance space? Apart from introducing the technical infrastructure and effective processes and operations, mindsets must change. This can sometimes be overwhelming. However, with the right approach towards change, half of the work is already done.
In this webinar, we will explore change in the context of digitalization: what is change, which potential challenges does it bring as well as how to deal with them and find solutions.
After this webinar, you will be able to take a different perspective on the change projects you and your teams are realizing or want to realize in the future. In addition, you will be able to identify which phase of change you as well as other organizational members are currently experiencing, and you will have a new tool at hand that can support you in dealing with potential challenges that typically come along with change projects.
MORE ABOUT THE TRAINING AND HOW TO REGISTER
The MFC webinar on September, 7th provides you with insights on change and change management that you can deepen by participating in ADG’s online training on change management. The online training is not yet another boring webinar session that makes it hard to focus.
The ADG approach towards online learning combines the best of both worlds: it is easy to participate as you can take part in the webinars from everywhere and don’t have to travel anywhere AND the training is highly interactive and centered around you and your learning needs. You will not only interact with the trainers but also with your peers and get lots of chances to practice and apply what you have learnt – like you would train in sports.
In the online training, we will provide you with new ideas, share approaches that have proven to be effective in practice and introduce solutions to deal with potential challenges. We will guide you in developing your own personal roadmap to implement your personal change project/ initiative.
The online training lasts 5 weeks (with 1 webinar per week) and focuses on 4 topics:
- Understanding change
- Analyzing change
- Mastering change
- Leading change
Each webinar takes 3 hours and contains:
- inputs and impulses
- practical tools
- peer-exchange and group activities
- assignments to prepare for next webinar
