Description

This course gives a systematic overview of the theories, frameworks and tools for leading innovation and change in organisations.

This course focuses on change that organizations go through. We focus on micro, meso and macro aspects of change. The course focusses on applying fundamental philosophical underpinnings of change management to real case study. During this course, students will be working with ZURU Company to develop solutions for one of the three challenges that the company set up.

Please note: An Erskine Fellow is co-teaching the course in 2023 and therefore the content and delivery will differ from the course description. In 2023, students will not be working with ZURU but rather be working on exercises, simulations, and case studies to apply change management principles to everyday life.
