And all changes, even positive ones, usually bring problems. It is mainly difficult to convince people and motivate them to adopt new processes or tools. Although project management principles are sometimes used in these situations, it is not an ideal solution. Fortunately, there is a specific Change Management methodology, designed specifically for change management.
"Change Management is the application of knowledge, skills, abilities, methodologies, processes, tools and techniques to transform an individual or group from a current state to a future state in order to achieve the expected benefits and goals of the organization."
If you are the one who has to implement a more extensive change in the company, then you will certainly appreciate the knowledge and skills that the Change Management course will give you. Thanks to a practical methodology based on the internationally recognized Standard for Change Management©, we will offer you best practices for the successful implementation of change.
You will master the theory and practice of professional change management. It includes work with goals and benefits, strategy for stakeholders, the actual implementation of changes, the ability to assess readiness for change and respond to resistance to its adoption, support for change acceptance and related training.
Graduates are most often in the following positions:
Project Portfolio Manager
Process Owner
Change Manager (Change Management Lead)
Project/Program Manager, Transformation/Transition Manager
Continuous Improvement Specialist
Business Analyst, Change Agent (e.g. Head of Line Department, Functional Specialist)
Our courses are based on best practices used in change management. Their main pillar is the internationally recognized Standard for Change Management©, created by the Association of Change Management Professionals® (ACPM®). It is supplemented by selected parts of the PMBOK® project management methodologies and the BABOK® business analysis.
For the successful implementation of changes in the organization, the following activities and steps are key:
Create a change strategy and plan
Implement, conclude and evaluate the change
Determine implementation and operational risks
Set sustainability criteria for the benefits of the change
Define the target state to be achieved
Determine the impact of change and evaluate readiness for it
Identify the need for change, analyze the requirements for it
Identify stakeholders and define their roles during the change
To estimate the level of acceptance of change and resistance to it at the level of individuals and groups
Ensure the support of the change process by selecting appropriate procedures, techniques, tools and qualified people
By being trained in the Change Management methodology, you will gain knowledge and skills, thanks to which change in your organization will take place smoothly. You will deal with managing expectations, reluctance of users to change and problematic sharing of information.
You will thoroughly understand the effects that the transition to the new status will have - especially on employees. And you can make them with this change.
As a result, people will adapt to the new situation more quickly and efficiently, with less impact on productivity. Thanks to this, your organization will be able to respond more flexibly to changes in market conditions, implement strategic initiatives and adapt to new technologies.
In principle, people are reluctant to accept new things, change their habits, adapt to changes. They do not have to fully accept the novelty and start using it in their work.
If the change is not implemented to the extent planned, the entire project will not deliver the expected results, its deadlines will not be met, and its costs will increase.
Whether you are changing established processes, structure or technology in the organization, whether the goal is to solve problems or take advantage of opportunities given by market changes, the condition for success is always employees. If they are not willing to change their way of working and learn new things, the project cannot succeed.
It is therefore necessary to prepare, support and motivate people. Plan the change perfectly and know its effects. Be aware of possible risks. Ensure the right tools and teams to smoothly implement the change.
