Jamie?s School Dinners: A recipe for managing and living with change, a new 2-part programme brings change to life in an easy to understand an inspirational way. It?s broken down into a series of digestible lessons to help you and your employees, deal with change when it occurs in your own workplace.

Part 1 ? A recipe for managing change

Dealing with change is difficult, but managing change is even harder. Part 1 covers four key learning points that will help you manage and deliver a successfully change process of your own.

Passion: Believing in what you are trying to achieve, and believing you can do it, is crucial.

People: Everyone reacts to change differently, but there are certain types of people that can be easily identified, (enthusiasts, gate keepers and resisters).

Planning: When implementing change, careful planning is essential and can determine whether it will be accepted or not.

Perseverance: With change you can nearly always guarantee resistance so determination is a must.

Part 2: A recipe for living with change

At some point every single member of your workforce will be confronted with change. By taking your employees through the four different stages, they?ll soon realise that it doesn?t have to bring with it widespread fear and confusion.

Reject it: Whatever the attitude to change ? whether unexpected, unwelcome or simply unwanted - the initial reaction is always the same.

Resist it: ?I was right to think that? is the next logical reaction. Any explanation, no matter how implausible, can be used to rationalise the initial denial.

Reflect on it: At this stage previous judgement begins to be questioned. The mind suddenly switches on to the possibilities that change might bring.

Resolve it: The challenge and excitement of new opportunities has triumphed over all the negative perceptions of change.
