Healthcare practitioners often best understand the intricacies of healthcare, and when equipped with the appropriate leadership skills, can become change agents within their health care delivery systems.
A focus on performance is vital for any organization. However, understanding the culture and health of your organization is equally, and if not, more important.
This course examines key change management constructs, theories and practice associated with leading organizational change. Learners will be introduced to methods for assessing key features of organization’s cultural environment. Learners will be able to apply social, behavioral, and organizational science to the diagnosis, development, and implementation of an effective organizational culture change.
