What is the Practical Change Management course about?

Traditional change management assumes linear rollouts, top-down messaging, and fixed endpoints. But in innovation-first environments, change is continuous, co-created, and embedded in product and process evolution. Without tools designed for this reality, even skilled professionals struggle to align teams, sustain engagement, or measure meaningful progress.
