This course explores the challenges and strategies of leading organizational change in dynamic environments shaped by technological innovation, evolving societal values, and complex global issues. Cadets will gain a foundational understanding of organizational functioning and empirical evaluation, then apply evidence-based approaches to design and assess improvement initiatives. Drawing from industrial/organizational psychology, behavioral science, business, management, and military doctrine, the course uses case studies, empirical analysis, and collaborative projects to examine real-world successes and failures. Cadets will develop practical leadership strategies for implementing and evaluating change, preparing them to drive transformation and adaptability as future Army leaders.

Special requirements
Cadets prepare an individual research report examining an actual large-scale change within the context of a modern organization.
The environments in which organizations operate are characterized by unprecedented change fueled by rapidly emerging technologies, information overload, changing values, lifestyles and attitudes, and social and civil problems of great magnitude. Effective leaders either must be proactive toward change or be its captive. The purpose of this course is to examine change from an organizational perspective through a complex and diverse mix of theories, concepts, and information. Course concepts are drawn from the disciplines of behavioral science, business, management, and military doctrine. Cadets have the opportunity to analyze the successes, the failures, and the multiple dilemmas of modern organizations in both the private and public sectors in order to better understand the causes, implications, and potential leader actions and strategies associated with organizational change.
