Who should attend

The programme is best suited for mid-level managers in organisations who are tasked with managing change within their work.

The programmes would be equally useful to those who are employed in change programmes or project management roles, or general managers in an organisation where they will play a key role in managing forthcoming change.

Due to the programme team’s research expertise, the programme would be particularly valuable to managers in the public sector, where change is constant and often driven by both external and internal pressures
