A Message from the Dean of Academics

“Most transformations fail not on strategy but on adoption — the human work of getting people to let go of the old and commit to the new. This programme builds the leadership to drive enterprise-wide change that actually sticks.”

— Office of the Dean of Academics, Rusel School of Business & Technology, UK

A high-intensity weekend programme for leaders and teams — two six-hour sessions (with an optional third) on leading agile, enterprise-wide change and driving genuine adoption. Available as an accredited certification or an executive masterclass.

What You Will Master

Five Core Capabilities

D

Diagnose

the change — read readiness, culture and the forces for and against.

V

Vision

the future — craft a compelling case for change and a clear transformation story.

M

Mobilise

the enterprise — build coalitions, agile teams and momentum across silos.

A

Adopt

for real — drive behaviour change, embed the new and beat change fatigue.

S

Sustain

the gains — anchor change in culture and produce an enterprise change plan.

Curriculum

Programme Sessions

Two six-hour sessions across one weekend, each half masterclass and half applied clinic — building one continuous piece of work: an enterprise change plan for a transformation you are leading. An optional third session turns it into an agile adoption roadmap.

01 6 hrs

Leading Change & Transformation Strategy

Diagnose readiness, craft the case for change and set the transformation story.

02 6 hrs

Agile Delivery, Adoption & Culture

Mobilise coalitions, drive real adoption and beat change fatigue across the enterprise.

03 6 hrs · Optional

Transformation Lab & Change Operating System

Optional extension: build an agile change operating model for intact leadership teams.

Two Ways to Engage

This programme is built for targeted upskilling. Run it for an individual, a leadership team, or a whole transformation office — on a fixed calendar or stood up quickly when a stalling programme or a new mandate demands a sharper approach to change.

What You Leave With

This is not a theory seminar. In a single weekend you leave with your case for change built, an adoption plan drafted, and a roadmap pressure-tested by peers — plus a reusable change operating system you can apply to the next transformation.

How You Learn

Applied Clinics, Not Lectures

01

Pre-Session Preparation

A transformation case, a short briefing & a change-readiness self-assessment arrive ahead of the weekend, framed by guiding questions.

02

Practitioner Masterclass

Transformation and agile-change leaders teach the method, then show how it plays out in real programmes.

03

Applied Change Clinic

Half of every session is hands-on — you work a transformation you are leading, with faculty and peer feedback.

04

Cohort Peer Review

Peers across roles and sectors stress-test each other’s change vision, adoption plans and roadmaps.

Assessment & Award

On the certification track, assessment is applied and cumulative — every component builds toward the same enterprise change plan, so nothing is busywork. The masterclass track is non-assessed and earns a certificate of completion.

On the certification track, score 50%+ overall and attend both core sessions to earn the RSBT–CPD Professional Certification. High-distinction recipients (80%+) are recommended for advanced standing into RSBT’s Executive Diploma pathways in leadership and strategy.
