Case Studies and Reports

When embarking on your own Change Management project it may be of comfort to you to share in the Change experiences of others. Their stories can help you to get a feel for how you want to approach the Change initiative - so that you can avoid some of the pitfalls, and replicate some of the successes recorded by others.

The Luton Effecting Change in HE project published a number of useful Case Studies including:

• Effects of Business Development and Knowledge Transfer on institutional culture

• Implementing a VLE at the Belfast Institute of F&HE: Changing the Culture

• Changing Teaching and Learning Styles

• Learning from a 'triple whammy' of change
