Change Management: Nothing Stays the Same
Course Description
Change is a constant in many of our lives. As the great David Lee Roth and Van Halen sang “Change; nothing stays the same. Change, well we will hit the ground running!” That is what we all are looking for. All around us, technologies, processes, people, ideas, and methods often change, affecting the way we perform daily tasks and live our lives. Even more critical in this current environment, having a smooth transition when change occurs is important in any situation.
