Managing Individual and Organizational Change Darden School of Business 15–18 September 2015

Change is here to stay — and today’s leaders continually face the task of driving and managing change to keep their organizations moving forward. You will develop fresh ways of thinking about and approaching change in this immediately applicable, psychology-grounded course taught by two of Darden’s renowned leadership and organizational behavior experts.

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Managing Individual and Organizational Change provides a unique behavioral psychology approach — presented in a discussion format — to leading, managing and driving lasting change at the individual, team and whole-organization levels. The program focuses on:

Managers responsible for leading change affecting strategy, technology, culture or organizational structure.

• Individuals — managerial roles responsible for leading, managing and driving the change process, with emphasis on the individual as both manager and a model of change; and • Group and total-organization perspectives — including the roles of learning, creativity, innovation and diversity/ differences in the change process, as well as reactive vs. proactive change Participants come away with expanded change knowledge and skills, as well as a concrete plan of action for applying what they have learned to their workplaces and personal lives.

The program challenged us to avoid the “‘status quo’ trap. Being a leader is about taking

risks that improve the organization’s culture and performance. This course helps give purpose to the way you live your life and lead others. — Robert C. Rayl II
