Today we expect leaders at all levels of an organization to deliver results under conditions of increasing change, uncertainty, and complexity. However, many feel unprepared and ill-equipped to lead change.
In this series of four self-paced online courses, you will learn about the Science of Change and how to apply it to changes you are leading today, those that may emerge in the future, or those you may participate in as part of a larger group or organization.
Applied Learning Project
As part of the learning experience, you’ll hear directly from the master facilitators who lead our research and consulting engagements, as well as directly from some of our clients about their stories of leading change.
With the Science of Change and real-life stories as reference and an action plan as your guide, you’ll immediately practice applying what you’ve learned to your specific context. While this specialization is ideal for mid-level managers and change leaders, it is equally relevant for more senior and more junior leaders. As a rich introduction to the fundamentals of the Kotter methodology, everyone can benefit from these essential courses.
