Description

In today’s world with the quickly changing work dynamics it is critical for every individual to become more adaptable to change. Change enables individuals to come out of their status quo and challenge themselves to explore new avenues. If not actively engaging in evolving yourself life becomes stagnant and it caps the potential of growth. Understanding change and why it is important in organizations makes it easier for professionals to manage change. This module gives the learners the basic concept of change and makes them familiar with the terminologies and concepts which would help in the upcoming modules.

Description

As we established in the previous session that change is good for growth of both individuals and entities. But Change can only be good if it is holistically embraced. When change is implemented it not just affects individuals but also involves changing the norms, values and beliefs of groups which makes it rather challenging for the management to deal with change. The module discusses how understanding the culture and taking the whole organization equally is critical for change implementation and sustainability without damaging the organization’s equilibrium.
