Change Management Practitioner
Course Description Overview
Dealing with change and more importantly, the impact of change is a high priority for all organisations. The Change Management Certification has been developed by APMG™ in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers. Together they have developed a professional ‘body of knowledge’ for the discipline of change management. This body of knowledge now provides an independent benchmark for the professional knowledge expected of an effective change manager.
APMG’s refreshed Change Management certification is fully aligned with the change management body of knowledge.
The purpose of the Practitioner certification is to confirm whether the candidate has achieved sufficient know-how to apply and tailor Change Management guidance in a given organisational change situation.
A successful Practitioner candidate should, with suitable direction, be able to start applying the Change Management approaches and techniques to a real change initiative - but may not be sufficiently skilled to do this appropriately for all situations. Their individual Change Management expertise, complexity of the change initiative and the support provided for the use of Change Management approaches in their work environment will all be factors that impact what the Practitioner can achieve. Successful candidates will have fulfilled the knowledge requirements for Change Management Institute accreditation.
Although there is no mandatory requirement, ideally candidates should have at least two years professional experience working a process environment. The Change Management Practitioner would suit candidates working in the following professions or areas:
· CxO’s
· IT Managers/ Directors
· Senior Project Officers
· Project & Program Coordinator/Managers
· Operations Managers
· Quality Managers
· Business Analysts
· Engineering Managers
· IT Infrastructure Managers
· Internal Consultants
· Professional Consultants
This qualification is aimed at anyone working within a change environment that has responsibilities for identifying, assessing, planning, or managing improvement activities, or reporting on continual improvement activities across the organisation.
The above list is a suggestion only; individuals may wish to attend based on their own career aspirations, personal goals or objectives.
