This module will discuss readings and evaluate specific case studies of major systems change in order to develop insight into the characteristics of effective change programmes. There is hardly an organization in today’s global context that is not confronted with the need for change. Leaders of large and small companies are facing radically new technologies, global markets, new competition, and social shifts.
Organisational leaders formulate strategies that are aimed at surviving and prospering under new competitive conditions, but fundamental changes deep inside the organisation are needed in order to execute such strategies. Cultural change is often stated as a key objective in change efforts and is simultaneously identified as a key constraint on change success. Organisational leaders are often aware of the need for change and spend staggering sums of money on change consulting and change efforts, yet many of these efforts do not succeed.
In this module, we will dig into the underlying elements of successful organizational changes. The module draws from a range of fields, including strategy, organisational behavior, sociology and psychology. We will examine the fundamental nature of change and the challenges that leaders face as they plan and execute their efforts. The module emphasizes individual, organizational and societal elements required for successful and lasting change.
