The focus of this CAS program is the intensive examination of change in an international environment in order to guide individual change projects to sustainable success. The program is also designed to support students in increasing the future viability of companies in the face of complex and highly dynamic environmental conditions.

Change is affecting all areas of the economy with increasing frequency and intensity. Recognizing and managing the need for change requires a holistic approach. This means adopting a perspective that does not end with strategies or structures, but also takes into account the people in organizations, not least in the intercultural environment and themselves.
