JWI 556 Leading Change by Putting People First

Prerequisite

JWI 531 and JWI 550

As Jack Welch states, "Every time you talk about changing, you have to put together the rationale for the change. You have to answer the question of what's in it for the people who are forced to do something different than they are used to doing." Business leaders need to stay ahead of the game and help people within their organization understand that change is constant and effective change management is needed to win. Students will explore the role of human resources in executing successful change management initiatives within an organization.
