An Administrative Leader’s Perspective on Balancing Change Leadership and Change Management in Higher Education

This capstone paper explores the case of a schedule modernization initiative at the University of Alberta. The initiative is preparing to enter design and implementation with the intention of deploying new technology, along with possible changes to policy, process, and work allocation. Given the importance of the class schedule to the operations of the University, a change of this nature will require significant change leadership and change management. The case will be explored through Bolman and Deal’s Reframing Organizations: Artistry, Choice, and Leadership (2021) and Kotter’s eight step change management model (Bolman & Deal, 2021, pp. 405-407; Kotter, 2012, 2017; Galli, 2018, pp. 126-127) with the intention on assessing the potential of interfacing the two frameworks to surface to organizational considerations that may require focused change leadership and change management. In doing so, I hope to hone my efforts as an administrative leader within the organization as I prepare to help lead the change.
