Efficiently Managing Change
The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) defines change management as the organized approach and application of tools, knowledge, and resources to deal with change (n.d.). The main objective of change management is to implement new processes, business strategies, or products with as minimal interruption and adverse effects as possible.
In Week 2, you were able to investigate workplace engagement by assessing various leadership styles in Week 3. Week 4 focused on explaining the various categories of diversity. You critiqued five different change management models in Week 6, while during Week 7, you identified the qualities of an effective supervisor. In Week 8, you will work on your Signature Assignment, which encompasses all of these topics in one way or another.
As you enter the final week for this course, you now have the opportunity to incorporate the knowledge you obtained during the past weeks into one concise paper as you complete the Signature Assignment.
