• Change agents - roles and relationships
• Planning and implementation issues
• Evaluating change - successful and unsuccessful change programmes
• Change management tools and techniques e.g. force-field analysis, action planning

The latter also provides you with an ILM Level 7 qualification.

All our programmes are designed and delivered by experienced academics and practitioners and combine cutting-edge research and thought leadership with a practical, real-world focus, meeting professional and industry needs.
