Other scheduled titles will focus on coaching and counseling, team building, and general supervisory skills. Most organizations are undergoing significant change, with many becoming flatter and more efficient. People are finding they need to work with others in new ways, and this requires them to enhance their people skills, which is what Coping with Organizational Change addresses. Coping with Organizational Change, which runs on the Windows, Windows 95, and Macintosh platforms, is the latest series in the CD Solutions Library of education and reference CD-ROMs. It's based on the work of John W. Baker, II, of BCV Associates, a widely recognized authority in the human resource training field who has consulted on organizational change issues to scores of public, private, government, and non-profit organizations around the world.
Conflicts often arise when people who have different approaches to solving problems work together.
Knowing how to resolve those disputes not only addresses the immediate problem, but also builds a framework for tackling other situations. Baker noted that CD-ROM technology enhances the way training is delivered while reducing organizational costs. While it's our belief that technology should not replace the trainer, technology does dramatically reduce the cost of implementation. The ability to print any or all sections of the disc lets users create their own custom workbook based on the disc. In addition, an integrated notepad utility provides a convenient way to make and save notes for future reference, while a comprehensive conflict resolution checklist, glossary, bibliography, and a library of related Internet resources completes the disc.
