Overview/Description
The way that you respond to your new job role, new responsibilities, or fresh procedures is unique to you. The way that you react to change is intensely personal. But, to a large extent, organizations change in predictable ways and for predictable reasons. Similarly, the ways in which people respond to change tend to follow predictable patterns. Being able to think of yourself as part of this larger picture is a big help when you set out on a journey of change. "Views on Organizational Change" gives you an insight into the basic principles that drive change. You also gain an understanding of the factors that impact on the readiness and ability of people to change. The course also shows you how to deal with the fear that may be generated in a situation where change is just around the corner.
