Leading Change and Organizational Renewal

Leading Change and Organizational Renewal

Leverage diverse research, proven methodologies, and design thinking for change management in this collaboration between Stanford and Harvard.

A systematic framework. Silicon Valley innovation. Real-world implementation. Experience all three at Leading Change and Organizational Renewal. This unique collaboration between Stanford and Harvard helps you overcome the inertial forces that plague big organizations in order to design an ambidextrous organization that can generate streams of innovation. This one-week intensive program is offered once per year at each school, Harvard and Stanford.

Led by Stanford GSB’s Charles O’Reilly and Harvard Business School’s Michael Tushman, the program provides a proven methodology for diagnosing strategic challenges combined with design thinking techniques and business-challenge work groups to help your organization innovate. At Stanford, you’ll put design thinking tools into action at the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design, also known as the d.school. Then, you’ll return to work with an action plan and toolkit to help you implement real change and empower others in your organization to do the same.
