Audience
- This is intended for management levels from all departments for the simple reason that change affects all, including anyone who is interested to enhance better management of change.
As the only thing which remains constant today is change, a major challenge for any organization is to manage change in order to remain competitive & to survive in today’s ever changing business world. No organization will want to be a dinosaur in a museum, or end up as an academic case study of company failures for business and management students. Organizations need to focus on this human aspect amidst all these changes. What are the consequences of NOT changing? Are the employees and management too comfortable in their own environment? How well are they equipped with the skills needed to manage change? Are they emotionally stressed out? This programme has been designed with the aims to answer these questions, and highlight the importance of change and its associated pitfalls, and to suggest ways to manage change.
