COURSE INFORMATION

Leading Change

Introduction & Background

Rather than manage change, adopt an approach of leading change. Step out in front and embrace change as an opportunity both professionally and personally.

In this program, participants will learn about change by leading a company through it via an immersive full-day simulation! Working in teams, participants will help “GlobalTech” navigate a change in their strategy. Some of the employees think this change is great, some are on the fence, and some are completely opposed. Given a timeframe of 18 months and budget of $500K, teams will create a change plan aimed at boosting the level of cultural buy-in from the current level of 6% to over 60%. 

During the program, participants will learn to understand what change is and why leading change effectively is critical. Participants will explore best practices for leading change effectively with real-time feedback on building, implementing and refining change plans. These include understanding the forces of change and resistance that business professionals face daily. Participants will learn how to overcome these forces and resistance through communications and commitment building.
