Overview

The Change Agent programme is a collaboration between Microsoft, Socitm and every public sector body we work with.

Our aim is to train at least one person in every public sector service to be a catalyst for change, connecting them with others in similar roles to innovative create communities of practice.

The Chane Agents programme is designed to work alongside existing change efforts, with some authorities planning to use this as their main catalyst for change.

The manager course has been designed to provide an overview of the key skills needed to be an effective change agent, with a strong emphasis on the ability to lead change:

  • Managers learn key skills such as learning styles and the importance of a growth mindset, with details of how they can continue their learning.
  • The technology day focusses on tech that will truly transform their service, equipping managers with the knowledge they need to drive their service towards true transformation.
  • Managers are introduced to their communities of practice, where they, along with their staff, can collaborate at scale with services across the UK.
