Rapid, continuous change is a constant element in modern organizational life. Change is both welcomed and feared. It is needed, anticipated, and shunned. Getting people to move in a new direction is one of a leader's most important missions and greatest stressors. Relying on their organizational experiences, students gauge the value and practical application of various schools of thought on managing change. Through projects and case studies, they apply basic analytical and facilitation tools – scanning, planning, organizational design and structure, marketing – to the change process. Students develop a personal approach to managing change in their careers and current assignments.
