Would you like to get creative, innovative and strategic ideas when planning for change in your organization? We invite you to partner with our College students! Student teams can provide a framework to launch, maintain and sustain the change while aligning with your company purpose and culture. For this change plan to be successful, we will require some information from you regarding the vision, values and mission of your organization. If you are looking for a foundation to plan, and implement change within your organization, then this group of learners can create a plan to do so.
