Entrepreneurial leadership

PDP: Change Management

More than ever, organizations need to navigate through a VUCA world: an organizational environment characterized by volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity. Whereas firms had experienced conditions of turbulence before – indicated through the bursting of the dot‐com bubble in 2000‐01 and the sub‐prime crisis in late 2008 – the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic has shown that the business world (and the world we live in) can substantially change from one day to the other. The pandemic unambiguously underlines the importance of knowing how to deal with environmental changes, difficult business situations, and corporate decline. Managing such conditions consists of multiple organizational challenges and implies that you as a business manager must constantly adapt and deal with evolving business situations. This course aims at developing an understanding on how to behave and manage such situations. It familiarizes participants with how to manage change as an individual, as part of an organization, and as a leader.
