The most important thing about change is to take people or employees with you on the "journey". This change management course covers both the theoretical and the practical part and teaches how to go through the change process together and implement it positively. The course teaches various approaches and possibilities for successfully implementing a change process.

Graduate of the program

This course provides comprehensive theoretical and practical knowledge of change management. All the important elements of a successful change process are covered: from the success factors of change processes, to the design and monitoring of the implemented process, to dealing with resistance and the accompanying communication. I can highly recommend this practical training; in a short time you will be familiar with the necessary methods and you will be able to implement them directly in your company.

Mag. (FH) Verena Rieder-Hackl

Graduate of the program

Change processes are usually very complex and generate pain and resistance to change. The FH Change Management course teaches in a very professional and practical way what challenges need to be overcome and what tools are available. A must for anyone who wants to implement positive change and develop their teams to peak performance.

MMag. Andreas Dorn

Graduate of the program

The human factor is often overlooked in change processes. In change management, it is important to combine the human and factual levels in order to make change sustainable. The course supports participants in creating sustainable change in organizations by providing them with different approaches and tools.
