In turbulent times the management of change becomes a critical task for organisational
leaders. It may be that successfully managing change is the key competitive advantage
for businesses today. Yet, research shows that most change efforts fail. The challenges
of globalisation, new technologies, industry restructuring, increased public scrutiny,
and other pressures on today's businesses require change skills throughout the organisation.
In this subject, we will explore the ideas of learning organisations and systems thinking
as tools for coping with uncertainty and organisational transformation.
