DESCRIPTION
This course prepares students to design and lead change in complex organizations. We explore how to thoughtfully design change initiatives by linking new strategic directions to organizational structures, processes, incentives, and culture. A key focus is on understanding the process of leading change—how leaders move from vision to execution while navigating resistance and aligning stakeholders. Through cases, frameworks, and hands-on exercises, students learn to craft change strategies that are both adaptive and durable. The course includes interactive discussions, guest speakers, and a multi-session simulation to build practical skills for leading change across industries.
