Change Management

The definitive certification for professionals dealing with organisational change, transition and transformation

APMG International accredited Change Management courses, developed in partnership with the https://change-management-institute.com/ are designed to help organisations and their people manage the impact of change. They provide techniques to effectively plan and implement successful transformation initiatives.

In the modern business environment, change is relentless. This can be challenging, but it also presents opportunities. By effectively managing change, organisations enhance their performance and achieve their goals.

Understanding the impact of change is crucial to its management. Change can create either positive or negative outcomes. It can lead to increased productivity, improved morale and new opportunities, or it can cause stress, anxiety, and resistance.

Our Change Management foundation and practitioner training explores how change affects, and is affected by, individuals, teams, change leaders, and organisations.

APMG-accredited Change Management courses equip individuals with the knowledge, proven methods and techniques to:

  • Unlock resistance to change.
  • Provide effective support and motivation to individuals and teams to embrace change.
  • Draw from a range of professional approaches to implement change smoothly and effectively.
  • Identify and engage with key stakeholders throughout the change process to gain support.
  • Speed up the implementation of change programs.
  • Highlight their contribution as change professionals to initiatives.

Techniques and tools discussed in the course, such as how to lead change and involve those impacted by it, and effective communication strategies, can help organisations manage change and reap the benefits.

These qualifications also offer a pathway to independent accreditation by the Change Management Institute.

When booking on one of our Change Management courses, delegates need to be aware, that they are expected to do between six and ten hours (depending on the learning style) of pre-course reading. This will include: review of the Change Management manual and of a case study. Additionally, during the course, delegates are expected to do two to three hours of evening work. This will include: review of day's training, practice of examination questions and an overview of the subsequent day's training. 

Raj Khanna Associates' training is focused on the learning and not teaching. Therefore, unlike majority of other providers having a block of three or five consecutive training days, we would we spread the sessions over 2 weeks, allowing our participants to:

    • Have an opportunity to make appropriate notes and digest their learning, before moving on to the next element. All our sessions are recorded, and participants can review them again to suit their learning styles.
    • Apply the learning to the way their organisation and change initiatives are being managed, including their personal role and responsibility. Additionally, the participants can understand the different roles and documentations they might come across.
    • Increase their chances of success in their examinations.
