Leading Change

Change is essential to organizational growth and progress. Yet researchers report that over 60 percent of change projects (such as implementing a new strategic plan or enterprise software) fail to achieve intended results.

Through this intensely focused, hands-on program, you’ll learn research-based frameworks, models and strategies that will make you become a stronger leader of change within your organization.

This two-day program will help you lead change initiatives that succeed.

What Participants Say

I am absolutely delighted that I chose to attend Change Management.  It has completely changed my focus concerning the character of businesses and the possibilities for change on both the global and individual level.

This program is a high value, high impact reality check that you already are—or need to be—a change agent.

Use of varied media to demonstrate and teach change management, in chorus with listening to others' experience and applying to different subject matter, created a powerful & effective learning environment.

Professor Daft did a great job of facilitating conversations that brought out some very insightful thoughts.

Outstanding, inspiring program not only for senior managers & leaders but a key to being effective project managers or team leaders.

Concepts are modular and easily applied to my current work environment—to changes occurring now.

If you want a solid foundation in change management, attend this course.

Thought provoking; a good balance of theory with real-world applications or relevance
