Community of Practice: Organizational Change Management
Change is happening all over the University. If you are a part of a change initiative and/or project, you'll want to join us for an interactive session on planning for organizational change. You'll have a chance to learn about the importance of change management in achieving project outcomes as well as the tools and techniques for managing change. There will also be an opportunity to apply the tools and techniques to a situation. We will let you know about some resources you can use to manage change and we will answer your questions about change.
