Organizational Change
About the course
Course content
Organizational change plays out through sensemaking processes, which can be related to different forms of change. The course works from the idea that continuity and change are closely related, which is why sensemaking is oriented towards narratives that account for past and future.
Sensemaking takes place in micro-situations and is crucial for group processes at all levels of the organization. Whether local sensemaking becomes decisive for the organization as a whole depends on the integration of more robust narratives for the changes where the need for continuity is central. Senseamking takes place differently in different parts of the organization, and the integration different functions are integrated into the change process is a prerequisite for implementation of change.
