Module 02: Leading the Process of Organizational Change
This week focuses on frameworks associated with change management, including the use of various models that a manager may utilize to ensure the change process is more efficient and effective. Depending on the situation and level in the organization, more than one model is frequently used to ensure that the breadth and depth of change are addressed. Regardless of which model is utilized, many factors associated with change remain challenging. Two universally challenging components are the emotional effect and the impact of change. We will explore both factors in this module.
