The People-Centred Implementation (PCI) Public Workshop is for project and change managers who are looking to successfully implement major changes in their organisation but are hitting barriers such as poor sponsorship, low commitment and employee resistance.

David's book Successful Change is available from Amazon and other online book retailers.
The result? In Successful Change, David shares - in plain English - the experiences that he and his colleagues at Changefirst have amassed, through working with over 10,000 people in 35 different countries over the past 16 years.
The book is:
- purposely written in a manner that is strategic in its coverage
- but also full of useful takeaways and step by step how-to’s that practitioners can apply on a daily basis
We think Craig Dinsell, EVP Human Resources at Oppenheimerfunds Inc puts it succinctly when he says,
“This is the kind of book you carry around with you. In a sea of sameness and ‘consultant speak’ Miller cuts through the theory and presents insightful, business savvy solutions centered on people… it is essential reading for anyone confronted by change and in today’s business environment that means everyone!”

*Successful Change is available both in paperback and ebook format.
"Dextera and Changefirst have methodologies in change management that closely complement each other" explains Marcia Baggio of Dextera. "Both have a focus on preparing and engaging people being impacted by change. However, PCI works especially well at both a strategic and tactical level whilst Dextera's methodology focuses more on the operational work and the daily follow-up of a change project. The partnership has a real synergy because Dextera currently operates in the are of change consulting and Changefirst provides the consulting, training and certification which allows companies and individuals to develop the capability to deliver change for themselves".
David Miller, Managing Director of Changefirst, said "the Brazilian market is one of the fastest growing in the world and we are delighted to be working with Dextera. The pace of change creates a natural demand to manage change within organisations and Dextera has an extremely impressive reputation and record of growth in Brazil. There are many similarities in terms of our approach and we see the partnership as boosting the growth of both companies in Brazil and Latin America as a whole".
