FOUR

Brief Overview/Summary
First session was focused on Drivers of World Change.

We touched on drivers such as germs, globalisation and demographics. We discussed the various ways how those drivers can cause a revolutionary change and what are some examples of those changes. Lastly, with regard to those changes, what are the implications.

Second half of the class was focused on Change Management and Change Leader.

We have always made a distinction between management and leadership and the discussions on this topic helped us to further differentiate between the 2 practises.



Interesting Observations and Ideas
One of my most interesting observations would be seeing GERMS as a driver of world change both frightening and mind opening. Uhhh personally I have never seen GERMS as something that can cause a positive change since... most of the time people suffer because of it. The explanation about how people's mindsets and beliefs can change because of germs is simply mind blowing O.o

Key Takeaways
1. IF THE TREE BRANCH IS TOO RIGID TO CHANGE, IT WILL BREAK! (this is such an awesome analogy!)
2. Strategic Reading (WOAH SUCH AN IMPT AND ESSENTIAL SKILL!!!!)

Issues for Further Discussion
I would wish for more air time to be given to the topic about giving ownership to people regarding new ideas. I think this is a very useful skill and important knowledge that everybody should grasp well!

Personal Ratings 
7/10
