Leading change across functions without clear authority or shared timelines
The situation this course is for
Even well-designed initiatives fail when teams operate in silos, communication breaks down across departments, or governance structures can't adapt. The gap isn't strategy, it's execution across boundaries.
Who this is for
Business transformation leads, program managers, technology change sponsors, and operational directors leading initiatives that span multiple departments or systems
Who this is not for
Individual contributors not leading cross-functional work, or executives seeking high-level overviews without implementation detail
What you walk away with
- Design change strategies that align stakeholders across functions
- Map and navigate informal power structures and resistance patterns
- Integrate governance and compliance requirements into rollout plans
- Build communication architectures that maintain consistency across teams
- Adapt change approaches in real time using feedback loops and monitoring
