The capability to lead change is critical for 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 and into the workplace practice. The student will explore the strategies and the practices of leading change to generate a critical understanding of change methods and processes in diverse contexts.  The unit also builds change agent capability by exploring multiple case studies of relevant tools and practices. Class interaction will be used to generate a taxonomy of different change approaches and practices through presentation of research project findings and discussions of direct change management experiences. Participants will also review the capabilities underpinning successful change leadership and make a personal self-assessment and development plan.
