In this course we will explore the psychological underpinnings of reactions to change, needs assessment and evaluation models, and how to capitalize on employee creativity toward sustained innovation.

We begin by examining change resistance and readiness dynamics from both employee and leader perspectives.

Then, we focus on the importance of conducting a needs analysis at the change planning stage, and how a rigorous assessment process can increase the likelihood of successful change implementation.

Next, we rely on the ADKAR model to exemplify how change leaders ensure change buy-in and successfully drive change implementation by through employee involvement in the evaluation process.

Finally, we delve into the psychological and organizational factors underlying creativity and innovation, and specify how organizational leaders can develop an innovation climate.
