The Your Preferences for Change package provides change leaders and managers with a valuable set of resources to enable them to adapt to change quickly and productively, and to better support those around them.

Having completed the Your Preferences Test and three-part report and workbook, individuals will:

• understand their own responses to change
• understand the information and support they need to help them respond positively to the challenges of change
• recognise that one size doens't fit all in terms of approaches to change
• see how they can adapt change programmes to take into account predicatable patterns of human behaviour in response to change
• apply their new understanding of change to their current change projects

When used before a major change initiative, the materials can provide a valuable basis on which to develop a change programme. At other times, the results will provide a rapid way for individuals and teams to get back on-track.

The Individual Report will:

• provide a basic introduction to change
• show how you react to change
• highlight what you need to help you through the process of change - from others and from within yourself
• describe how others of different types react to change
• show how you should lead or manage change, flexing your preferences to fit with those of others.
• provide tips on how you can help others through change on a one-to-one basis.

The Workbook will:

• contain exercises for reflection on how you respond to change
• provide worksheets for use when leading and supporting others through change

The Action Plan template will:

• help you to prioritise your next steps
• translate the report and workbook findings into a SMART action plan
