Executing Changes Series 3: Change Acumen

This series is the capstone for the Executing Change series as it applies all the tools, theories and strategies you learned in the first two series. As a leader, you know that any tools or approach looks good on paper, but applying it in real-life is more complex. This course provides a case study with obstacles to change - like people who choose not to follow the plan. The case study provides opportunity to practice analyzing situations and to discuss the nuances associated with your choices for action.
