About This Program
From new initiatives to new technologies, change is inevitable in any organization. Change management is an approach that helps leaders and managers successfully guide their organizations through change. Effective change management goes beyond project management and technical tasks. It includes understanding the human side of change so you can help your team adapt and thrive.
In this one-course specialization, you’ll learn about the role of a change manager and how to apply a change model to an organizational issue. You’ll learn about the processes and stages that individuals go through to move through change, and how to recognize, plan for and mitigate resistance to change. You’ll also learn about tools you can use to enable groups to align on common goals, measure your progress and sustain change within your organization.
