Content

In this module we focus on organizational change and interventions within the context of the own organization according to a development-oriented approach.

This involves creating conditions and investigating, analyzing and estimating the most appropriate change approach. At an organizational dynamic level, it is about how people give meaning to the change and about the willingness to change and the capacity to change. At an individual level, we pay attention to the interpretation of the role of change agent whose task is to make the change concrete in work processes, results and behaviour with all those involved in the force field.
