Course Overview:
Effective Change Management An Interactive One Day Program
“Change is the only constant” – Heraclitus, a Greek philosopher
Why Change Management?
According to Harvard Business Review, 70% of all change initiatives fail. Another study by Towers Watson found that only 25% of change management actions are successful over the long term. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas and methods are continuously evolving, affecting the way organizations run their operations.
Developing effective change management skills then becomes not only inevitable, but also critical in today’s dynamic professional world as organizational change becomes more of a norm than an exception.
The Leading Change Management program will give aspiring change agents and managers the tools required to implement changes successfully with positive acceptance throughout the organization.

The Leading Change Management program is designed to promote excellence in the management of change by introducing participants to the skills required at each step of the change process.

Across Asia hate speech based on fake news has led to an increase of violent incidents as disinformation divides communities during periods of political and communal tensions. With rising internet penetration and use of mobile devices, abusive and threatening remarks both in speech and writing are going viral over social media. Often such content expresses intense prejudice against individuals or particular groups, on the basis of disability, ethnicity, gender, nationality, political ideology, race, religion or sexual orientation which can rise up to a frenzy leading to violent outcomes. Governments have enacted laws to preserve public order as well as to protect human dignity. They have also sponsored and assembled inter-faith dialogues and embarked on social cohesion efforts. Other stakeholders such the UN, international organisations, civil society and faith-based groups are also doing their part to combat hate speech. In the search for solutions to these challenges, there is also a need for an evidence-based discussion to critically examine the phenomenon of hate speech and its impact on democracy, the rule of law and human rights. This conference seeks to address the issue of hate speech from an evidence-based and a solution grounded approach while upholding freedom of expression.
Themes
The key issues that will be examined are as follows:
Blasphemy, hate speech, “harmony” (national, social, religious) laws and bills
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD)
Human rights mechanisms (UN [UPR/Special Procedures], AICHR, NHRIs)
Non-legal interfaith dialogues and social cohesion or social harmony initiatives
Perspectives from religion, race, ethnicity and nationalities
Political and nationality-based discrimination and hate
Social protection of gender and LGBTIQ stakeholders
Role of media, social media and technology
Impact on democracy, freedom of expression, human rights and the rule of law
Any other relevant or related themes
Objectives
The conference aims to achieve the following objectives:
Convene interested individuals and organisations researching hate speech;
Exchange information and trends around legislation to prevent hate speech;
Examine non-legal measures to promote social cohesion and harmony;
