About the course

Change is a fact of organisational life, an unavoidable "norm" everyone has to deal with. Yet deciding what changes to make, winning support for new initiatives and delivering on expectations are still major managerial challenges. In a world where customers, clients and competitors all face uncertain futures, how can you positively impact the future of your own organisation?

Managing Change and Transformation helps you to understand how to build a change-ready culture that can make smart decisions and successfully implement innovative ideas. You'll consider your personal reaction to change, evaluate the organisation's attitude to innovation and learning, identify barriers to transforming the organisation and explore approaches to overcome them.
