Change Management Models: 01. Introduction to Change Management

Introduction to Change Management Models is a foundational course that recognizes change as an indispensable component in today’s competitive business environment. This course equips you with vital skills to successfully navigate and lead organizational changes. It begins by defining change management, which encompasses alterations in organizational culture, technologies, processes, or infrastructure. The course categorizes organizational changes into five common types, emphasizing the importance of tailoring strategies to the specific change type. Throughout the course, resistance to change emerges as a major hurdle, rooted in human psychology, habit, and risk aversion. Effective communication, clear vision, and broad organizational buy-in are highlighted as essential tools for overcoming resistance.
