The question isn't whether change will happen; it's whether your organization is ready for it.
 

Change can come in many forms, whether adopting new technology, market shifts, mergers, or restructuring. Change-ready organizations are better positioned to thrive in today's fast-paced and constantly evolving business landscape.
 
This course focuses on building core organizational capabilities that enable leaders and employees to navigate uncertainty confidently. Learn how to build change as an organizational capability, helping teams and leaders to innovate, adapt, and respond effectively to internal and external challenges. Examine how shifting global dynamics, including trade disputes and political uncertainty, influence organizational change strategies in the Canadian context.
 
Through key theories, concepts, and practical tools of organizational change management, you'll gain insight into the human dynamics of change and build the skills needed to lead confidently in times of complexity.

  • The complexities of change and the challenges faced by leaders
  • Change and organizational culture: strategies for overcoming resistance to change
