BH3604 MANAGING ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE

Before the outbreak of the global pandemic, change management was already one of the top leadership priorities in organizations. Yet a significant number of organizations reported a high failure rate in driving change initiatives. The process of change and the resistance to change, if not well managed, could result in unproductive work or even unintended negative consequences. The disappointing outcomes occurred because changes often affected multiple levels, from individuals? mindset, group routines, to organizational inertia. Fortunately, there are ways to mitigate such risks and increase the probability of successful change implementation. Organizational leaders, together with their human resource practitioners, are often involved in the planning and executing of change for their teams and organizations. This course aims to equip seminar participants with the necessary knowledge of the different forms of change that take place in organizations, and the processes entailed in leading and managing change. Using seminars and discussion groups, the course will cover change management frameworks and concepts, explore the nature and context of change, examine alternative change management approaches and examine how best to implement predetermined change strategies, especially in the context of digital disruption.
