Change management

Le cours fournit aux étudiants un certain nombre d'outils théoriques et conceptuels en vue de les aider à concevoir, de manière pertinente, un plan d'action et de gestion du changement. Il présente d'abord un certain nombre de grilles dont on peut disposer, dans les Sciences de gestion, pour décrire les divers projets de changements, leur nature, leur ampleur, leur temporalité, etc.. Il montre ensuite comment on peut tenter d'expliquer ces changements en recourant à différentes approches théoriques et en les articulant dans un modèle intégré, dit «des cinq forces». Une réflexion est alors entamée sur la manière d'évaluer un processus de changement à l'aide d'une grille multidimensionnelle, directement issue du modèle des cinq forces. Dans la même foulée, il s'agit également de considérer le changement comme processus à anticiper, par le biais de scénarios plus ou moins probables, parmi lesquels apparaît le rôle central joué par le style de management. Enfin, on aborde le changement comme processus à gérer, en explorant diverses pistes d'action concrètes liées aux approches théoriques envisagées précédemment, dans la perspective d'un style de management qualifié de «polyphonique».

Management by objectives

This people management Workshop is dedicated to the three following core manager's activities : 1) goal setting, 2) delegation, 3) evaluation.
The philosophy of the course is inspired by the principles of two complementary approaches: Evidence Based Management (for the theoretical aspects) and Solution Focused (for the practical aspects).
Each of the three manager's activities will be examined through the following questions : (a) Does it work ? (critical process), (b) Why does it work ? (understanding of the mechanisms involved), (c) How to implement it? (practical application).

Learning outcomes of the course :  
Management by objectives

At the end of the workshop, the future managers will be able to lead the process that, step by step, starts with goal setting and ends with goal evaluation.
The concepts and tools the approach rests on are applicable to the person who wants to set goals for him/herself as well as to the manager who has to set and evaluate goals for his/her team.
