COURSE OVERVIEW

Organizational transformation is a process of significant and comprehensive change in an organization’s structure, culture, and strategy. It is critical for businesses to keep pace with the rapidly evolving business environment. However, according to McKinsey, data shows that 70% of large-scale transformations fail, and even the successful ones only realize 67% of the maximum financial benefits envisioned. The course provides the fundamental knowledge of transformation initiatives to aid project professionals in the recognition and response to change.
