Leading Change Initiatives

Hybrid format: If the current COVID-19 travel restrictions will persist in 2021, the program will be offered in a hybrid format, allowing you to choose between an in-person or remote (online) participation.

The Leading Change Initiatives program supports you in meeting the challenges that come with initiating and implementing change. During the program, you will examine change processes and the psychological, political, and organizational issues they generate. You will learn to diagnose change-related issues and identify options for working with them. You will understand why change initiatives can fail and learn how to deal with change resistance and reluctance.
