Change Management Training and Certification Workshop

Enabling highly effective, agile Change Planning and Deployment for Change Agents

3 day programme for Change professionals (virtual or face-to-face)

During this workshop groups and transformation teams of 6 – 12 specialists are immersed for 3 days in a robust Change Management Practitioner action-learning programme based on our globally recognised PCI methodology.

It is focused on helping Change Agents build and execute agile, people-centred plans that turn change strategy into tangible business results where:

  • Practitioners work on live change initiatives and workstreams, solving real business problems
  • Learning is immediately tried and tested “in-programme”
  • Attendees also work with our digital toolkit to improve productivity and accelerate and advance Change Management practices.

Ongoing digital change management application access to our Roadmap Pro® digital platform, is included with this programme, so attendees can continue to leverage this capability on future projects.

The programme can be configured for a closer fit with your specific change challenges. Given its robust nature and the level of detail covered, participants are awarded a Changefirst Practitioner Certification upon completion.
