Successful Seminar on Change Management by Dr Szamosi in Kyiv

Dr Leslie Szamosi, Academic Director of the Sheffield Executive MBA programme of the International Faculty delivered another successful seminar on Change Management in Kyiv. The seminar was addressed to members of the European Business Association (EBA) and took place on 15 September 2017 at the Management Development Centre of EBA.

In his seminar entitled ‘Managing Organisational Change for Success’ Dr Szamosi highlighted the importance of paying attention to the people dimension of change, while carefully planning and managing the process of change at different levels within modern companies and organisations. “Research shows that problems with this dimension of change is the most commonly cited reason for project failures. In a study with 248 companies, effective change management with employees was listed as one of the top-three overall success factors for the project. Helping managers be effective sponsors of change was considered the most critical success factor overall.” said Dr Szamosi.

The event took place in the frame of Education Update and was well attended by EBA members who showed particular interest on the topic.

The University of Sheffield International Faculty is ‘educational partner’ of EBA, one of Kyiv’s key business associations, and often organises events for EBA’s members.
