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.
This programme is offered by Corporate Communication Centre BV. For more information about the legal structure of Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, visit this page.
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 masterclass is designed for corporate communication and HR professionals looking to initiate and manage organisational change, ranging from smaller change projects to fundamental organisational changes such as business model innovations.

Participants in this course are recommended to have 3+ years of work experience.
Professor Boonstra is such an authentic human being. That made me constantly triggered and interested. There was not one moment in the course that I felt bored or not interested. The combination of presentation (sos) literature, exercise in small group, working alone in silence, playing games with the whole group. It was just perfect.
