Overview
Welcome to Leading Strategic Change (CTL803).
Leading Strategic Change is a challenging task where the ambitions for seamless change and the ability to deliver these often present a performance gap simply because the complexities of change are multi-faceted. The need for pre-planning, to anticipate the realities of achieving transformation, is essential to minimise tension and uncertainty among key stakeholder groups. This unit is designed to provide an orientation towards the dynamics of leading and managing change to forewarn the learner of what may be experienced.
