Too many organisations spend money on changes that won't solve their problems or deliver the desired benefits. They may invest in techniques to improve the management of change, yet wonder why their business projects still cause unnecessary disruption and an erosion of the value they hoped to achieve.

Tranzform Group has developed techniques which address this problem - techniques which will be revealed to you in a two-day workshop called "Designing Business Change". Using proven techniques and in-depth case study analysis, you will learn how to assess the impact of your business changes and measure the real-time results. Don't miss this opportunity to learn:
