Big Local Chairs Network: Supporting People through Change

In this session, Chairs will be introduced to tools they can use to support partnership members to navigate the changes and challenges faced by Big Local areas as they approach the close out phase. Chairs will learn about ‘The change curve’, a model that details the emotions people often feel when experiencing a transition.

Chairs can apply the model to anticipate partnership member’s reactions, and, tailor their communication to support people’s needs more effectively. This model can also be helpful to predict how change may impact personal effectiveness, as people travel through the four stages of the change curve: shock/denial, anger/fear, acceptance, and commitment.

Chairs will have the opportunity to explore the different stages of the change curve and its application in supporting members to navigate change.
