Strategic Change Management
About this Course
In today’s constantly shifting market, organizational change has become unavoidable. Transformative technology, business innovation, and global competition have made adaptability vital for companies that want to remain competitive in their industry. This includes having managers with the ability to perceive change in the marketplace, and who are able to pivot strategy and retool an organization, not just to remain relevant but to thrive.
The Kellogg Executive Education Strategic Change Management online program teaches you how to achieve and nurture sustainable change in your organization. You’ll gain the tools and insight to encourage creativity and implement change plans successfully. You’ll also learn to maintain strategic and organizational agility by creating a learning-ready company and effectively manage aversion to change.
This online program is aimed at professionals ready to support their organization in maintaining a competitive edge through the anticipation and management of change. It will, therefore, be beneficial to senior and middle management who want to foster change in their company, as well as those in a specific change management role. While this program is geared towards those in medium to large organizations, it will also be highly relevant for leaders of small organizations who want to effectively manage growth and scaling. It is also valuable to seniors in the human resources (HR) department — those who are traditionally responsible for these developments — looking for deeper strategic insight into change management beyond their current understanding.
Create a strategy for change and earn an official digital certificate of completion from Kellogg Executive Education.
Assessment is continuous and based on a series of practical assignments completed online. In order to be issued with a certificate, you’ll need to meet the requirements outlined in the program handbook. The handbook will be made available to you as soon as you begin the program.
