This 5 day course provides delegates with the opportunity to look at approaches to managing change and demonstrate they can apply the principles in practice. Four core areas will be explored: change and the organisation, change and the individual, communications and stakeholder engagement and change management in practice. Together they will enable a delegate to develop a comprehensive change management plan to support effective change within an organisation.Prior to the course delegates will receive learning material to help them prepare adequately. All relevant course materials are provided, including the core textbook 'The Effective Change Manager's Handbook'. The course includes both the Change Management foundation and practitioner examination. Success in the examination enables delegates to apply for exemption from the knowledge level requirements for foundation level membership of the Change Management Institute.The evening work is an integral part of the course and delegates should expect to spend approximately two and half hours on these activities each evening.
