Build a Solid Foundation in Organisational Change Management
The APMG Change Management Foundation course equips professionals with a thorough understanding of how individuals and organisations experience change – and the practical techniques needed to guide them through it successfully. Grounded in established models such as the Kübler-Ross Change Curve and the ADKAR Model, this internationally recognised qualification prepares you to contribute meaningfully to change initiatives of any scale.
Structured around five core syllabus areas, the course moves from understanding the organisational context of change through to the human dynamics that determine whether a transformation succeeds or fails.
