Description
Sustainable organisational change will be considered from a range of diverse perspectives: global and local; radical and minor; senior leadership and front line employees. The course emphasises the development of both analytical and procedural skills to assist participants in making important decisions about change while developing strategies to tackle the changes. Learning how to influence others and implement sustainable organisational change will enable student’s capabilities as a leader in their chosen field. Participants will identify an area for change within their own organisation, and work on a plan to operationalise the change, taking into account stakeholders, potential risks, budget constraints and more.
