Description

Change, whether strategic or responsive, remains a perpetual force in both organisational life and personal spheres. Leaders and managers play a pivotal role in identifying, executing, and guiding changes in mission, vision, values, culture, strategy, resource management, and performance. Such responsibility extends to considering external forces when orchestrating internal change and transformation. This course covers the competencies required for change management and organisational transformation. We look at various change types and their triggers, indigenous, Maori and Pasifika perspectives on change, implementation strategies, obstacles to change, cultural responsiveness in approaching change, and sustaining change over time.

Learning Outcomes

1. To understand key concepts and theories in change management and transformation processes, including an understanding of indigenous, Māori and Pasifika perspectives of change.
2. To evaluate the different types of change/transformation by analysing their characteristics.
3. To analyse reasons for success or failure of proposed changes and how internal and external factors influence organisational change.
4. To analyse the role of the change agent in the change and transformation process.
5. To apply appropriate theories or concepts to a given change management scenario/challenge.
