Introduction
Britain’s favourite TV chef, Jamie Oliver, faced a daunting challenge when he launched his crusade to revolutionise school dinners: government ministers, dinner ladies, head teachers, parents and pupils were universally sceptical of his radical plan and resistant to the massive changes he proposed.
This course, structured around a series of engaging video clips featuring Jamie Oliver, retraces the rollout of Jamie’s campaign. The first section of the two-part programme shows managers how to successfully introduce a programme of change within their organisation, whilst the second section helps employees deal with change in the workplace.
Key messages are delivered with simplicity and impact to make the learning more memorable and to ensure staff embrace, rather than resist, change.
