Objectives of the course
The course objective is to provide the participants with knowledge and appreciation of the dynamics of the complex circumstances underlying technical and organisational change processes, in particular the change processes which are related to change within the engineering field of the company.

In addition, management process aids and tools are addressed based on the participants' own experiences.
