What is the Modern Change Management for Innovation-First course about?
Traditional change models assume stability, predictability, and linear timelines. But in innovation-first cultures, change is continuous, non-linear, and deeply interwoven with product, technology, and market experimentation. This creates friction: teams resist rigid frameworks, leaders lack adaptive tools, and initiatives stall despite strong vision. The result is misaligned execution, burnout, and missed opportunities, even in high-performing environments.
