When choosing a project to bring to the Change Academy, we suggest that participants reflect on processes that we can see the need to change as a result of our experience over the last 14 months and as we move into the “new normal”.
Like many things now, this will be a pared-down event compared with previous years and will take place online via MSTeams.
The objectives of Change Academy 2021 are to:
- Understand why improving processes is part of everyone’s job
- Make colleagues aware of the process improvement method we use at Loughborough
- Reflect on how we support colleagues through the change process
- Support participants in using the method to improve processes in their area
- Enable them to make further improvements and support colleagues in doing so.
Change Academy 2021 will comprise:
- Participants agreeing on a local process to review with their line manager
- Attendance at two Teams sessions held on Tuesday 22 June and Tuesday 6 July, both 1.30pm-3pm.
- Preparation prior to the first session and some work to commence reviewing your processes between the two sessions.
- Allocation of a “change buddy” from the Change Team to support participants and their project.
Director of Change Projects, Dr Anne Mumford said: “These sessions will give colleagues a good understanding of why it is important that we review our processes from the end user's perspective and will support people through the training and provide follow-up support to undertake improvements.
“It gives a great opportunity for people to work with colleagues in the Change Team as well as colleagues in your area to make improvements in a focused period of time.”
