Companies tend to advocate continual change as a management method given today’s increasingly fast-changing environments.
It is now commonplace to see a strategy announced to the entire company then abandoned and replaced by another a year later, or a department’s structure radically changed twice in the same year, or even the quick adoption of a new business line that would have been inconceivable 18 months earlier.
Change is often experienced as profoundly disturbing and even traumatic in these frantic conditions. It can heighten disorientation and loss of identity, and arouse fear in terms of not being able to adapt and even losing control of certain situations.
Consequently, coping effectively with change rather than avoiding or denying it has come to be essential. This course will help you develop your proactivity and see opportunity and potential rewards in change.
