The only constant in today’s business environment is change. However, implementing change alone is not sufficient. It is also necessary to identify and prioritize the key organizational issues requiring change and to successfully implement the necessary changes. Furthermore, change defined and aligned at the organizational, process, and employee levels is critically important. In this seminar course, independent scholars identify and focus on the key areas of an organization that they prioritize for change initiatives and for the development and implementation of strategies that will increase the success rate of the key change initiatives. Independent scholars formulate an original research topic related to the course literature and present and discuss their findings with peers. They accomplish course objectives by examining foundational literature and theories, seminal works, and established models in the field of change management.
