This course focuses on the practical aspects of effective change management as it relates to change and the individual, change and the organization, communications and stakeholder engagement, and change management practice. This is an intense course that involves both pre-course and evening study during the course. The course is entirely complementary to the formal portfolio, program, and project management approaches (such as MOP®, MSP®, and PRINCE2®) but knowledge of these approaches is not a pre-requisite for attendance.
Through the study of selected sections of The Effective Change Manager's Handbook, the course provides a practical and informative pathway of understanding through the maze of principles, theories, and the practice of change management. It gives a solid platform for clear best practice thinking and the application of a range of proven change management tools and techniques for achieving successful change.
All delegates enrolled on virtual course bookings receive a hard copy of course materials sent to a preferred postal address.
Some previous experience of change management or programme/project management would be useful but is not essential. There is some recommended pre-course reading and preparation together with evening work during the course.
