Learner goals and capabilities

Is your business or organization going through a major change? We’re looking for Organizational Change Industry projects. Our students are currently studying Organizational Development, with a specific focus on Change Management. The cohort consist of 3rd year bachelors students and 2nd year (senior) diploma students.

Industry partners selected will be a “Live Case Study” for the course, which means many students will be working in teams on developing tools and resources to support the changes in each company/organization. In other words, lots of ideas and resources for your company!

Please note: Your initial acceptance in this project does not guarantee that the professor will select your organization. We will be contacting each organization to ensure that the scope of the project fits the requirements of this class. All selected community partners must be able to do in-person presentations if Alberta Health Services/MacEwan University deems it safe to do so.
