Given the dynamic and complex environments of today’s organizations, the ability to lead and manage organizational change successfully is a vital skill for leaders planning and launching both short- and long-term organizational change initiatives. Many organizational change efforts fail, or fall short of their objectives, and the most cited explanation for failure is an inadequate ability to effectively lead and manage change.

Change is a constant for today’s organizations and the capacity to adapt quickly to changing environmental conditions can be a competitive advantage. Having a deep and comprehensive ability to manage and lead organizational change is a necessary skill for leaders responsible for planning and launching short- and long-term strategies.
