Leading Change People, Process, and Purpose

Build your capacity to lead technical and operational change that actually works. You'll learn why change efforts stall, from resistance and burnout to poor rollout planning, and how to build change initiatives that stick using research-backed frameworks grounded in systems thinking and job and organizational design.

Most business courses that address change focus narrowly on communications or change management techniques. This course builds your capacity to solve the human and organizational issues that stall improvement.

You'll assess your organization's readiness for change, analyze real case studies of successful and failed change efforts, receive structured peer feedback on your own change challenge, and build a change strategy, implementation plan, and action plan to bring back to your team.
