DATE On April 12, 2016

Do you remember: Circuit City, Compaq Computers, TWA, RCA, My Space, Borders, General Foods, or Blockbuster?  All of these companies were either too slow or unable to adapt to the managing change in their industries and are no more.
 
The FORTUNE 500 is a yearly list of the most successful companies in the US. Did you know that 89% of the companies on the original FORTUNE 500 list are now gone.  Welcome to the world of constant change.
 
New technologies, government regulations, improved processes, rapid innovation, global competition, and increased diversity all create pressures for change on today’s organizations. Change is a reality of life in today’s organizations and the pace of change in increasing.
 
Are You Prepared for the Challenge of Managing Change?
As a contemporary manager, it is clear that you will be asked to help manage change. You might be the person initiating the change. Or, the change might be initiated by others higher up, and you are expected help your unit implement the change. Or, you might be a Project Manager that has to get a new procedure implemented and you are meeting some resistance. In any case, having the capability to lead change is a valuable competency for any manager.
 
In our Business Administration Diploma Program you will learn how to: assess readiness for change, help others see the need for change, communicate the vision of the desired state, and plan the transition.

Changes might require learning new skills, working in a new group, adopting new procedures, assuming different responsibilities, or meeting more demanding goals. In the Business Administration program you will also learn how to understand and deal effectively with resistance to change.
