Organisational Change Management Courses
What is Change Management?
Dealing with change and more importantly, the impact of change is a high priority for all organisations. It is said that change is the only constant in business, and perfecting the art of change management can be a challenge in any organisation. Being able to develop and implement effective change initiatives is paramount to ensuring ongoing business success.
What is Change Management certification?
The APMG International Change ManagementTM certification has been developed by APMG in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers. Together they have developed a professional ‘body of knowledge’ for the discipline of change management. This body of knowledge now provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.
The Change Management certification is fully aligned with the Change Management Body of Knowledge. The syllabus samples a wide range of knowledge regarding the theory and practice of change management including:
- change and the individual;
- change and the organisation;
- communication and stakeholder engagement and;
- change practice.
