Change
The Change program is designed to assist the individual to address change and to learn to adapt to change by:
• Assessing the personal skills, commitment and resistance levels of each participant in the change process—The Change Map
• Providing an external (someone who knows the individual) assessment of the individual’s skills in the core skills involved in the change process—The Change Survey
