The capability to lead change is critical for ambitious organisational managers working in complex 21^st century organisations. This unit aims to take the theories and approaches to leading and managing change off the page of texts and into the workplace practice. This unit examines both the strategies and the practices of leading change to generate a critical understanding of effective change leadership and process management in diverse contexts. It aims to build practitioner capability through the experience of exploring multiple case studies of change agent methodologies and practices. The class interaction will help the student build a taxonomy of different change approaches and practices, through analysing organisational case studies, and determining best fit change options for specific contexts. Participants will review the capabilities underpinning successful change leadership and make a personal self-assessment and development plan. Participants will use frameworks developed in class to investigate the leadership of change within a workplace with which they are familiar as a progressive action research assignment to apply their learning.
