Course description
Work is becoming increasingly collaborative. Companies collaborate and exchange with ever distant partners, and teams often have members across many different time zones. This increases diversity of perspectives which can contribute to innovation and creativity, but it can also generate conflicting views and mismatched priorities. Collaborative goals may not only be undermined by conflict but also by rapid change. This course builds students' skills in building collaboration on the back of effective management of conflict and change. Using an active learning delivery, students will gain experience in managing diverse viewpoints, interpersonal/intergroup conflicts, while overcoming resistance to organisational change. Students will also develop insights into developing an organisational culture that is open to productive conflict, collaboration and change.
