Experiential Training as a tool for managing organizational change. Mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures… we live immersed in a dynamic environment where companies and organizations are in need of adaptation. The result of the change processes directly affects the operation of companies and their competitive position. New tools, such as Experiential Training, offer a simple solution to face change processes with guarantees of success.
To be successful in adapting to change, it is essential that the people who make up an organization participate actively in the process. The type of people-centered change, also called soft, is the one on which Experiential Training focuses, unlike the hard type change, focused on procedures and structures.
The differential value of Experiential Training is that with its methodology it is much easier to achieve the full involvement and identification of workers in the process of change that the organization is facing.
The change from the Experiential Training
The Experiential Training is based on an exhaustive diagnosis of the organization to establish the process to follow, the parameters that will indicate the good progress of the process and the resources necessary for it.
From this point on, through direct experimentation, workers participate in dynamics and games that facilitate the learning necessary to face changes in the workplace, within their team and their organization.
In short, a proactive attitude of workers is promoted based on some basic principles:
- Make workers feel protagonists of change. They must consider themselves active agents of change, be the ones that develop and implement the process. Keep workers informed at all times. Clarity and transparency is crucial to motivate and achieve employee satisfaction. Achieve full involvement and identification with change. Only in this way will the desired state of the company be successfully reached.
Every day they are more professionals of the human resources who trust in the Experiential Training to accompany the people in the processes of change.
This is demonstrated by the activities and programs carried out by DAS Consultores, a pioneering company in Spain, for companies such as La Caixa, Nissan, Seat, Gallina Blanca or Peugeot.
