Change is often very necessary, and the execution of such change requires a diagnostic approach to business situation analysis. Learn how to recognise the need for change, and which internal and external factors may present obstacles during the transition process. You will research and develop change strategies, as well as learn how to quickly adapt to changing environments and situations.
