Change Management

Leading and managing organizational change processes

The Change Management program mainly targets participants from non-European countries and/or NGOs who are active in these countries.

This program will help you to understand the rationale and objectives of organizational change and how to communicate these to the stakeholders involved. Furthermore, it will guide you to design an effective change program and develop the personal management skills to successfully lead change processes in your organization.

Change is a constant factor in today’s global business world. Organizations have to adapt to their external environment, but also make changes within their own structure. Organizational change requires a fundamentally different approach to organizational processes from the traditional approach of management. Managers have to decide on the direction of change and guide their organization through the transition process.
