Description
This subject is designed to help you examine why change is so difficult and how managers can design more coherent approaches to making it work. Students will explore change as a multi-level process involving individual adoption and transition, group dynamics and local implementation, and organisational systems, culture and design. Using major change frameworks as diagnostic lenses, students will analyse planned, emergent and adaptive change situations, identify barriers and enablers, and design interventions that align stakeholder engagement, communication, participation, capability development, reinforcement and organisational design. The subject is highly applied, using cases, experiential activities and a real change project to help students develop a disciplined approach to diagnosing, designing and implementing organisational change.
