Course Overview
This course focuses on the practical aspects of effective Change Management as it relates to change and the individual, change and the organisation, communications and stakeholder engagement and Change Management practice. This is an intense course that involves both pre-course work and evening study. The course is entirely complementary to formal portfolio, programme and project management approaches (such as MOP®, MSP®, and PRINCE2®) but knowledge of these approaches is not a pre-requisite.
