Making the Case for Change

The course describes how to assess when change is needed and uses the four key aspects from the Harvard Business Review to conduct the analysis on an organisation and decide whether it is ready and needs change.

Best practice identifies change as a continual cycle and the cycle ensures that change is managed consistently. The course uses Kotter’s eight step model to manage the change process to a successful conclusion.

The Kubler-Ross transition curve is also explored, to understand and assess the impact on individuals affected by the change. Progress of change must be monitored and several ways are explored to do this in the module.
