Change Management Overview

One of the challenges facing organisations today is how to modify the business through regular change initiatives, with minimum disruption and maximum gain. Research suggests that 70% of projects fail to secure their anticipated benefits because organisations install new systems, processes or practices, but fail to implement the change fully – people are not sufficiently equipped for or committed to, the new ways of working to sustain them. This demonstrates an obvious need for professionals to supplement traditional project and business management skills with skills in change leadership.

Who Should Attend?

This course is designed for individuals involved in change initiatives who require a working knowledge of the key principles of change management, who need to know the terminology used and some of the theory behind the practice, including:

  • Change managers and aspiring change managers.
  • Key staff involved in the design, development and delivery of change programmes.
  • Change leaders (e.g. Sponsors).
  • Change agents (e.g. Business Change Managers).
  • Change implementers (e.g. programme and project managers).
  • Change support (e.g. PMO) and operational line management.
FOUNDATION

The Foundation course includes the review, consolidation of concepts and exam questions to prepare participants for the Foundation level certification. Other key objectives are to:

  • Understand how individuals are impacted by change and be able to develop strategies to help people through change.
  • Develop insights into how organisations work, organisational culture and the models and processes of change.
  • Understand the drivers of change, the change governance structures typically used in organisations and how to define a change vision.
  • Appreciate how to prepare people for change and support their learning and motivation to change.
  • Learn about the stakeholder engagement process and how to develop suitable communications strategies and plans.
  • Appreciate the impact of change on organisations, how to build momentum for change and sustain it.
  • Understand the importance of defined change roles, and how to build and support an effective change team.
PRACTITIONER

The Practitioner course prepares participants to undertake and pass the Change Management Practitioner Examination. The Practitioner level qualification aims to measure whether the candidate has sufficient knowledge and understanding of the Change Management guidance to apply and tailor it to a given scenario situation.

The course also includes review, consolidation of concepts and exam questions for the Practitioner level certification. Please note that the Practitioner course is an examination preparation course and focuses on the application of Change Management to prepare candidates for the Practitioner examination.

The training sessions were meticulously divided into theory and practical workshops....lots of workshop. This helped in understanding everything in the real-world purposeful sense! The CM Foundation course was also super engaging and was delivered extremely well by Barbara L. Guidance, methods, quick tips, workshops and support... the trainers did everything to ensure the candidates get value out of this! I am so glad I completed this course and the certification. Totally satisfied!!
