Why should I take the Change Management course?

Change Management™ introduces you to theory and techniques that can be effectively implemented in your organization. You will focus on how to apply and tailor change management guidance in any given organizational change situation.

Dealing effectively with change is a high priority for organizations today. The APMG-International Change Management™ Certification has been developed by APMG in partnership with the Change Management Institute (CMI), an independent, global professional association of change managers.
