This program enables participants to understand the fundamentals of change management and appreciate why it is integral to organizational success. They will explore various models—including Lewin’s, Kotter’s 8-Step, ADKAR, and the McKinsey 7S frameworks—and learn to compare, contrast, and apply them in real or simulated scenarios. The program emphasizes the roles and responsibilities of change agents, the importance of leadership, and effective stakeholder engagement. Participants will develop key competencies—such as emotional intelligence, communication, conflict resolution, negotiation, critical thinking, and problem-solving—to plan and implement change strategically. They will learn to sustain and embed change in organizational culture, monitor and measure success, and foster continuous improvement. In examining common barriers to successful change, like organizational inertia and change fatigue, participants will gain strategies to mitigate risks. Case studies will illuminate both successes and failures, providing practical insights across industries. By the end of the course, participants will have synthesized knowledge of future trends in change management, created personal action plans, and demonstrated mastery of essential principles through a final exam, equipping them to lead and support change initiatives effectively in their organizations.
