Change Management™ - Foundation

Organisations often invest heavily in changing systems and processes as they hope to achieve real and measurable gains from these projects. Poor change management can hurt your bottom-line more than you think. This is where good and effective change management can bring your people along for the journey and prepare them to take up the new.

You'll also learn practical Change Management skills for facilitating change, and be able to plan for change and potential problems.

The Foundation course is suitable for all project managers, program managers and team members.

  • Change Practice: Assessing the change impact, preparing for change, and dealing with resistance.

Who should take this course:

**Course preparation and homework

**

You're expected to read the Project Laneways reading material which will be emailed to you upon confirmation of your booking. This should take approximately four hours and includes an extensive overview of Change Management and sample exam questions.

There is approximately 1 hour of homework to be completed in the  evenings of the first two days of the Foundation Course. This consists mainly of sample questions along with answers and explanations. We find that this improves the outcome and consolidates the day's learning.
