Video Arts, a provider of entertaining training, has teamed up with celebrity chef Jamie Oliver to produce a two-part training video. “Jamie’s School Dinners: A recipe for managing and living with change” will provide organisations with an invaluable resource on change management.
Based on Jamie’s groundbreaking campaign to transform school dinners in the borough of Greenwich, it presents the complex issue of change in an easy-to-understand and inspirational way. It breaks the topic down into a series of digestible lessons to help employers and employees deal with change when it inevitably occurs in their workplace. The video was launched before Christmas at a Canary Wharf event.
