Organizational Change & Strategy

Organizational change has become the imperative for many organizations as they stare down failure and loss of business occasioned by the ongoing global crisis which has affected most organizations across sectoral divides. Yet driving such change is an immense difficulty. This program seeks to analyze the need for strategy in most organizations, and how they can set about planning one and implementing it. The program will further analyze and provide recommendations to the challenges that might be faced by organizations that are in the process or planning a change initiative. In the same vein, change management, as a challenge will be dissected, with copious examples from case studies involving international organizations and how some of them have been able to cope. This is an essential course for middle to senior management.
