the change master series.

A series of change management courses designed
to equip middle managers, change agents, and consultants
with the practical tools they need to manage change effectively.

WHAT MAKES THE ‘CHANGE MASTER’ SERIES UNIQUE?

Where can you learn how to become a change manager?

This is a question people often ask as they struggle to implement change within their own organizations. Business schools often include organizational development and design as a subject on their programmes. Change consultants often provide change agent training to organizations as part of large scale transformation programmes. However there is no public course available for managers, HR professionals, consultants or change agents who need to acquire practical tools and skills to manage change effectively within their organizations.

The change master series comprises a number of courses that provide change agents and consultants with the skills, knowledge and tools they will need to facilitate change programmes within their own organizations. You have the choice of either attending a single course or you can choose to attend all the modules and develop the skills of a ‘change master’.

The ‘Change Master Series’ is a ladder of learning. Each course prepares you for the next course.

This year the three courses in the series will provide you with the tools you need to facilitate change or strategy workshops within your own organisation. Further courses will be added to the series as new leadership challenges emerge. Delegates will receive a certificate of attendance for each course. Those that complete all the change courses in the series, and show they have mastered the skills, will be able to apply to be licenced as a Change Designs consultant.
