Leading Organizational Change

1.5 Credits · Level: Graduate, Juris Doctor, Undergraduate

In today’s global, hyper-competitive marketplace change is everywhere. What this means is that to be an effective leader at any level of an organization, you need to develop your capacity to be an effective change agent. This course will help you do this by providing you ways to systematically conceptualize, develop, and implement a wide variety of strategic, design, and programmatic changes in organizations. Our exploration will examine not only how to diagnose organizational problems and develop usable solutions but how to politic those changes with key stakeholders to produce the positive transformations that they are designed to generate. To provide you practical skills we will use cases and discussions to develop our toolbox of diagnostic and implementation frameworks. We will hone these change skills using experiential-based learning and a team-based project.
