FOCUS PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Course Outline:   Principles of Change Management

Duration:  3 days

Course Code:  ASPPCMFC

This APM Group accredited course is based on the book by Esther Cameron and Mike Green, “Making Sense of Change Management”.  It builds on change management experience and focuses on the effects of change in four key areas, individual, team, organisation and change leaders.

It is an intense course that requires delegates to prepare thoroughly and be prepared for evening work throughout the course. The course takes delegates through the four key areas, and culminates in the examination on the third day.

It sits comfortably alongside MSP, M_o_R and PRINCE2. The book on which the course is based sets out and succeeds in offering a pathway of understanding through the maze of principles, theories and guidance on organisational change management, and gives a solid platform for clear best practice thinking.
