Tata Interactive Systems’ Michael Johner, an expert on business simulations-based custom training concepts, will be demonstrating a Business Simulation for Change Management at Learning Technologies 2013.

Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), the world’s leading developer of learning solutions, is all set to present its wide range of learning solutions at the Learning Technologies event on 29th and 30th January, Olympia, London. Michael Johner, TIS’s expert on TOPSIM Business Simulations, will be present at stall #39 to demonstrate different standard and customised business simulations.

TOPSIM Change Management is a strategic simulation that shows how change processes in a company can be supported. Typically, top management decides the change, middle management is expected to adapt to the change as well as motivate their teams to adapt whereas the remaining staff of the organisation is expected to ‘endure’ the change. If change is not ‘managed’, it can lead to disengaged employees and hamper productivity.

Michael says, “People management is crucial when it comes to implementing change. TOPSIM Change Management simulation addresses the ‘organisational development scenario’ – creative and strategic responsibilities of a change agent as well as the ‘people development scenario’.”

He adds, “By the end of the TOPSIM Change Management seminar, participants from middle management should be able to understand relationships between people and change management and should have learned some useful tips for managing staff. Also, participants from the staff level should be able to understand fundamentals of change management, recognise the different phases and proactively support their managers in implementing change”.
