Leading Organizational Change: Semester-Long Project
Trefalt, Špela
Management Teaching Review, v5 n1 p41-58 Mar 2020
For organizational change to happen, people have to change their behaviors. Leaders of organizational change therefore need to develop their abilities to influence others, sell issues, and overcome resistance to gain buy-in within organizations. This article describes the framework for a semester-long project in which MBA students practice these skills by planning and executing an organizational change project of their own design. In the process, they obtain developmental feedback on their growing change-management skills. The instructor does not need to arrange contact with organizations in which these change projects take place, as students are charged with developing their projects and negotiating necessary access if needed. The project works best with weekly feedback and is, therefore, more appropriate for smaller classes or classes with capable teaching assistants. Adjustments for use in larger classes are also provided.
