Change Compass

Navigating Uncertainty For Middle Managers

A Change Management Program For Today’s Middle Managers

Middle managers are at the centre of change. They translate strategy, steady teams, manage pressure and keep execution moving when priorities shift.

Change Compass by InspireOne helps middle managers build the mindset, skills and behaviours needed to manage change with confidence.

Built on InspireOne’s 25 plus years of leadership development experience, the program brings together diagnostics, experiential learning, simulations and practical application to help managers lead themselves, their teams and the business through uncertainty.

Change Management Learning Journey

Bearings

Weeks 1 and 2

This is where participants get their baseline. They do a Personal Emotional Quotient Meter Assessment, understand where they are as leaders, and select a real Functional Transformation Project that they'll work on across the entire journey.

The Voyage

Weeks 3 to 6

This is the deep learning phase. They go through self-paced digital content, a half-day simulation workshop with two tracks — one on Resilience and EI, one on Multi-Generational Leadership — and a Group Reflection Circle.

Course Correction

Weeks 7 to 10

They apply what they've learned. There's another VILT on Decision Making Under Pressure and Deploying Change, more digital reinforcement, and a second reflection circle where they pressure-test their Functional Transformation Project.

Landfall

Weeks 11 and 12

They present their Functional Transformation Project to an internal panel, and then do a post-EQ assessment to measure the shift.

Leadership Assessments based on Emotional Intelligence

The program includes PEQM, InspireOne’s emotional intelligence assessment, to help managers understand their leadership behaviour under pressure.

It gives insight into self awareness, adaptability, optimism, empathy and interpersonal effectiveness.
