Objectifs

“The only constant is change” 
In our dynamic business environment, it is necessary for companies, teams and individuals to be ready to adapt to change or anticipate change. Being able to adapt requires an understanding of what is change, the concepts around change management and tools for affecting change. Anticipating change touches on a fundamental mindest shift to become more innovative and to navigate risk and uncertainty. 

During the module we cover the “good practices” for change management, the necessary skills needed for an innovative culture and the methods entrepreneurs use all through case studies, group discussions and practical exercises. 

In average we estimate that personal work should not exceed the teaching hours, so 16 max.
