Project managers are, by their very nature, change agents who live in a world of ever-advancing technology. This course explores the process of change, including invention and innovation, diffusion, change provocation, and change adoption. Students examine the necessity of accepting ambiguity and building in flexibility to allow for the unexpected. Students will also learn how to implement damage control in the event that change moves too rapidly.
