Moodle Resources: Help & How-to

This week we will be discussing why change initiatives fail.  We will also be introduced to Kotter’s (2012) framework for implementing successful change initiatives.  The criticality of employee engagement will be established.  Finally, what’s the difference between a change manager and a change leader?  Both are important, but by the end of this module you will know the difference.  (borrowed from Mike Hoffman's course)
