Program Overview

Program Description:

The MSc Organisational Change and Consulting capitalises on two irreversible societal trends. First, as organisations must transform themselves to cope with economic upheaval and social and technological innovation, the demands on managers to act as change agents are sharply on the rise. Second, due to downscoping, rightsizing and outsourcing, organisations are increasingly locked into their current work routines, implying they must lean more heavily on professional knowledge workers to help them improve and maintain the quality of their changing strategy and operations.
