Description

This course will give you an insight into the excitement and challenge associated with introducing and leading change, especially strategic change, in organisations. The course is based on Associate Professor Nilakant’s change management model that views change management as addressing four complex tasks: a. appreciating change, b. mobilising support, c. executing change, and d. building change capability.

External factors such as competitive pressures, changes in legislation, climate change, demographic change, and technological change make organisational change is an inevitable reality. More recently, many organisations have been forced to change how they do business. The ability to lead and manage change is a required core competence for senior executives in all organisations.

This course takes an in-depth look at the dynamics of organisational change, equipping leaders with the strategic frameworks and practical tools to lead successful change projects.

Now, more than ever do leaders need to understand the dynamics of change in their organisations. At the completion of the course, participants will be equipped with a range of strategies with which to successfully lead positive and sustainable change.
