Organisational Change
This course will give you a practical framework to help organizations manage small and large changes. It is based on my model of change management that views managing change as involving four generic tasks: (1) Appreciating change, (2) Mobilizing support, (3) Building change capability, & (4) Executing change. In this course, you will learn tools and techniques to help accomplish these four tasks. The course will also help you develop skills in: diagnosing change issues, interviewing people, identifying themes from the interviews and presentation.
By the end of the course, you should be able to:be familiar with key ideas in appreciating change, mobilizing support, executing change and building change capability;diagnose issues relating to change in organizations; andengage in Appreciative Inquiry as a change management strategy.
Subject to approval of the Head of Department.
