It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” - Charles Darwin
Available at all levels.
This module is designed to enable you to do that most challenging of things: help enable organisational change. Change is an inescapable part of both social and organisational life, and a recurring theme of contemporary organisational theory is that of managing and coping with change. It seems that organisations, and subsequently the individuals working within them, face an unrelenting stream of pressure from globalisation, social and demographic trends, shift sin government policy and the development of new technology, added to this the impact of challenge through pandemic. This module seeks to develop participants’ knowledge and skills in the process of understanding, creating and coping with change within the workplace while being encouraged to develop the skills necessary for the management and facilitation of transition.
Whilst similar to the module Leading people through change, the emphasis of this module is more concerned with analysing different approaches to achieving organisational change. Whilst it is principally aimed at people in, or aspiring to be in, managerial positions, this module may be of interest to those who wish to develop their understanding of the processes of change and those who wish to undertake research within this area.
