    APMG Change Management Foundation

    APMG Certification Course
    This three-day course offers participants an in-depth exploration of effective change management strategies. Throughout the program, we will focus on establishing the foundations for successful change by delving into four key areas: organizational change, individual change, communication and stakeholder engagement, and practical change management application. These areas collectively equip participants with the skills to create a comprehensive change management plan, ensuring smooth and effective transitions within their organizations.

    Before the course begins, participants will receive preparatory learning materials to ensure they are well-prepared. All necessary course materials, including the core textbook ``The Effective Change Manager's Handbook,`` will be provided. The course culminates with the Change Management Foundation Examination.

    • APMG Change Management Foundation Outline

      Communications and stakeholder engagement

      Stakeholder strategy

      Change agents need to understand who will be affected by the change so that their requirements can be taken into account while minimising disruption to current operational performance. Delegates will learn how to:

      Identify and analyse stakeholders
      Develop effective influencing strategies

      Communication and engagement

      Effective communications are fundamental to any successful change. Delegates will consider:

      The theory of effective communications
      The use of different communication channels
      How to develop a communications plan
      How to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the communications

      Change management in practice

      Change impact

      Change does not occur in isolation. Change agents will need to manage the relationship between the change journey, business continuity and successfully embedding the change. Delegates will be shown:

      Tools that help assess the wider impacts of the change and so ensure a comprehensive change management plan is developed

      Change readiness, planning and measurement

      Even if an organisation is effective today, change is likely to be heading its way. Successful organisations start planning for change long before it becomes a necessity. Delegates will learn how to:

      Build motivation to change
      Build organisational readiness for change
      Prepare for resistance

      Personal and professional management

      One individual is unlikely to be able to undertake all the activities to support successful change. Typically teams will be involved in supporting and shaping the change. Delegates will consider how to:

      Develop effective teams to help manage change

      Externally accredited by the APMG
