Training Overview
“Who Moved My Cheese?”
| Target Audience: |
| The target audience for this training is very broad—coalition boards or meetings, community groups, state boards, business sector, local, state, or national prevention organizations. The target audience can be any group noting a need for training on this topic. |
| Training Objectives: |
| The objective of the training is to expose participants to change theory in a non-threatening, story format. Accepted major principles of change theory are formatted into a modern-day allegory. Change is difficult within organizations, and the training helps people to self-identify as change agents or change blockers and hopefully gives the blockers a chance to expand their paradigm. |
| Format: |
| The training begins with a colorful and exciting PowerPoint presentation and continues with facilitated group discussion and small group exercises. |
| Number of Participants: |
| As a lecture and for information dissemination purposes, this training can accommodate very large audiences and can be used as a plenary presentation. To actually facilitate change within an organization, the audience should be much smaller (25 optimum) and should be made up of people in similar positions within the organization OR should be made up of people from throughout the hierarchy of the organization with permission given for non-judgmental, honest communication. |
| Time Frame: |
| The initial lecture takes approximately one hour. Follow-up activities, if desired, can usually be completed within a four-hour format inclusive of the lecture. |
