The three-day Organisational Change course contributes to the successful change and innovation of organisations in a dynamic environment. As changes are inevitable but not always predictable, this course reveals what dynamics you could face and how you can shape interactive change in your organisation without losing yourself in the dynamics. This course teaches you how to contribute through your role and profession to change and innovate successfully within your organisation.

Interactive change occurs in a situation in which people create new realities together and learn to deal with ambiguity. For this approach to be successful, you need to confront uncertain change situations head on and acknowledge tensions. From there, in-depth change and innovation become possible through interaction. This leads to a fundamental choice: the path of certainty and planned change aimed at stability and control; or the path of tension and uncertainty which contributes to in-depth innovation in our organisations and the world around us.
During this course, a play model of organisational change is used to enable you to discover how to participate in these changes. The play model is based on long-term research of change processes in organisations, and it’s been widely practiced and established by innovative companies. Having been successfully applied in management courses, this dynamic model can be used in various kinds of organisations. It provides inspiration and guidance for communication professionals like you who are willing to innovate and are constantly exposed to change. Do you want to be a player in change?

This course provided me with a deeper understanding of change within organizations, especially when it comes to addressing the often-overlooked 'undercurrent' in organizational dynamics. Professor Boonstra did not just share his knowledge; he took us on an inspiring journey and touched our hearts with his stories. I gained not just deeper insights in how to guide my organization during change, but also into my own role and how I can make a meaningful impact.
