About This Course
In this course we will cover the fundamentals of good change and transition management practices, paying special attention to using tools and strategies under less-than-ideal conditions.
By the end of the course learners will be able to:
- Identify the reasons a change might be difficult for themselves or for others
- Describe the differences between project management and managing transitions
- Apply specific communication techniques that improve the probability of successful change
- Adapt practices for ideal change management to real world conditions
- Develop a personal roadmap for practicing with new change management tools and strategies
