Course description

Change management is the practice of supporting individuals, teams, and organizations as they navigate, adapt to, and sustain change in complex and evolving environments. This course focuses on understanding change as both a structural and human system, emphasizing how people experience, respond to, and contribute to change over time. 

You will explore contemporary change management frameworks and apply them to real-world contexts, with attention to readiness, resilience, communication, and ethical decision-making. The course emphasizes practical sense-making and constructive participation in change initiatives, regardless of formal leadership role. 

Face-to-Face: Through applied analysis, reflection, and scenario-based learning, learners develop the skills and awareness needed to engage with change in ways that support inclusion, psychological safety, and sustainable outcomes. 

Online: This course promotes active learning through online activities, reflective practice, scenario-based application, and structured interaction within the Brightspace learning management system. The course is designed primarily as an individual learning journey, with selected opportunities for discussion and shared sense-making.
