Change Management Foundation

Course number: CGICMF40

The benefits of effective change management are considerable, both for organizations and the people in them. The costs of poor change management are equally compelling. The Change Management 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 which provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.

Objectives:

• Understand structured approaches to shape a change initiative.
• Assess the organizational context for change.
• Apply techniques to help people adapt and understand the human responses to change.
• Learn how the various roles can facilitate successful organizational change.
• Identify stakeholders and engage effectively with them.
• Describe the essential communication principles to support change initiatives.
• Provide ways to assess change impacts across the organization.

Target Audience

This certification is for anyone who supports the people impacted by change initiatives and who require a working knowledge of the key principles of change management, the terminology used, and the theory behind the practice. It is a prerequisite for the Change Management Practitioner qualification.
