About the Neuroscience for Change Course
The Neuroscience for Change course from Capability for Change brings together the theoretical and practical elements of organisational change along with the study of how the brain processes information. The outcome is that you will understand how different brain types work and learn the best way to present and communicate change in the workplace.
The study of Neuroscience delves into the scientific exploration of the nervous system, shedding light on our responses to situations, information processing, and decision-making mechanisms. Gaining more knowledge of neuroscience equips us to effectively convey information and decisions regarding innovative work approaches to those affected by change.
This ability to persuade stems from aligning our messages with the way their brains perceive their circumstances, influencing their choices.

Understanding Neuroscience in the Workplace
Adapting our workplaces to be inclusive is something that needs to be taken seriously by all organisations. Understanding neuroscience in the workplace is valuable because it helps us make sense of how people think, feel, and behave. By learning how the brain processes information, responds to stress, and makes decisions, leaders and teams can create environments that support better communication, focus, and emotional well-being.
Understanding neuroscience can also help us to form more effective leadership and teams. When we understand how habits form or how motivation works at a brain level, we can design training, feedback, and work routines that actually stick.
