In this full day workshop we will look at how to do inferential statistics and data analysis using R.

Content will include:

• Further visualisations
• Exploring statistical distributions
• Generating test data
• Simple tests such as t-tests, correlation and χ² tests

The day will run from 10am to 4pm with morning and afternoon breaks, and an hour for lunch.

Further information will be posted on the Maths & Statistics Canvas module before the class.

"Part of the LJMU LEAD Programme - Leadership Enhancement and Development".

Change is inevitable in any organisation and setting, and can, if not handled appropriately, be a source of confusion and worry for the individuals it affects. This workshop is designed to focus on both the practical and logistical aspects of coordinating change, whilst also considering the psychology of change and its impact on individuals and teams.

Participants on the workshop will have the opportunity to consider the drivers of change, identify positive step changes they can make themselves, and work through approaches that allow change to be effectively communicated and positively embraced.

Key topics covered will include:

1. The fundamentals of change management, including driving forces and restraints
2. Stakeholder engagement and communication, and overcoming challenges
3. How to break down the change process into manageable phases
4. Identify methods to measure the effectiveness of change initiatives
