7 Things You Should Read About Change Management

Abstract

The pace and breadth of innovation require colleges and universities to take a thorough approach to modifying longstanding models and practices in higher education. The consequences of failed initiatives can be substantial, and otherwise well-laid plans can be undone if the human and cultural aspects of an organization are not adequately considered. Change management addresses those factors, creating the best opportunity for success. The resources below explore the role of change management and provide examples of frameworks and other tools to support the process of managing complex change.

 The "7 Things You Should Read About..." series from the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative (ELI) provides a concise set of resources on emerging learning technologies meant to provide a quick understanding on the topic. You may find other ELI resources useful in addressing teaching, learning, and technology issues at your institution. To learn more, please visit the ELI publications page.
