Change Management :: IPMO Advisory AG

Specialist certifications

Course Description

The Change Management specialist certification course will help you develop the skills necessary to play an active and effective role within and across organizations that are going through varying degrees of change. Managing organizational change is critical to implementing every type of initiative which in turn helps the organization meet its strategic objectives. Sounds easy? Its not. Organizational change initiatives fail at an alarming rate due to the underestimation of the stakeholders (actual and perceived) impact of change. This course gives you a 360-degree view of change management from the drivers of change, the theory behind change management, investigation of change success factors, and change models including techniques and tools. A case study concept is integrated into the course where we take real attendees problems and solve them which makes for a hands-on workshop to help participants understand the challenges working in virtual, physical, and mixed environments to develop the skills necessary to define and execute an active and effective role within and across organizations that are going through change.
