Course Description
When organisations evolve, success depends not only on the change itself but also on how people respond to it. Change Management: Strategies & Tools introduces learners to effective change management strategies for navigating workplace transitions, organisational development and transformation. Through this change management course, learners explore the change cycle, sources of resistance, motivation and the importance of creating a compelling future. The programme also introduces change management tools that can support communication, stakeholder engagement and decision-making.
The course then develops a broader approach to organisational change management, covering stakeholder triage, stakeholder analysis, the Change Curve and operational performance. Learners explore managing organisational change by considering how fear, desire, uncertainty and resistance can influence workplace responses. Furthermore, the curriculum introduces change leadership training concepts alongside communication planning and progression strategies, helping learners approach change with greater structure and clarity.
Finally, learners explore change implementation strategies, workplace change management and change management planning through a project-focused approach. The course connects these areas with business transformation course principles, showing how leaders can coordinate people, communication and organisational objectives. As a result, learners develop a broader perspective on planning, supporting and leading change across different workplace situations.
