Impact Learning: The Truth About Change Management
One of the clichés in the business world of today is the assertion that ‘change is everywhere’ and companies are well advised to ‘adapt continuously to the environment’.
Written on 25 Apr 2017.
As with all clichés, these clearly carry an element of truth. During a three hours’ workshop, students worked on a business case and learned how to look through the clichés. Students critically evaluated what is happening during a change process and evaluated what may be done to successfully implement a change management programme.
- Who: Senior Consultant in Change Management at ConvictionsRH, Jennifer Tauzia.
- What: Presented a business case to students of the MSc in Strategy, Consulting & Digital Transformation programme on Change Management.
- Where: EDHEC Lille Campus
- Truth: In Change management, “success depends less on how persuasive a few selected leaders are and more on how receptive the “society” is to the idea.”
