Course Overview

The aim of this programme is to enhance your understanding of change theories and increase your ability to apply this knowledge to real work issues. The focus in year one is on the drivers for organisational change, strategies for implementing change, and the evaluation of change.

The programme is structured around eight taught modules: six in year 1 and two in Year 2, including the written submission of a work based project.

Online materials are used plus 17 day sessions at Lancaster University (or your workplace for cohorts from the same organisation).
