Course approach:
This course will be taught by
using the presentation and discussion of various topics of change. After
conceptual presentation, students will be divided into groups for case
discussion and presentation. The single most important requirement in this
course is full and active participation in the case discussions. Much of what
you learn in the class will be from your fellow students not from me. The goal
is to coach you to learn what you need to know about managing change for your organizations.
