Organizational Change Management for Transformation: A Primer

Overview:

This interactive primer provides a clear introduction to organizational change management and why it is essential for successful transformation-especially as organizations face increasingly rapid and complex change.

You'll gain insight into:

• Why change initiatives fail-even when well planned
• How people experience and resist change
• What successful change leaders do differently

The session introduces the five process domains outlined in the ACMP Standard for Change Management©:

• Evaluating Change Impact and Organizational Readiness
• Formulating the Change Management Strategy
• Developing the Change Management Plan
• Executing the Change Management Plan
• Completing the Change Management Effort

Through real-world examples and guiding questions, participants will see how these principles can be applied across a variety of industries and transformation efforts. You’ll leave with a solid foundation and greater confidence in navigating organizational change.

Why you should Attend:
Most transformation efforts don’t fail because the idea was wrong.

They fail because people weren’t ready.

Nearly 70% of organizational change initiatives fail, leading to wasted investment, employee resistance, and long-term change fatigue. And with transformation happening at breakneck speed, organizations have less time than ever to recover from missteps. If you’re involved in implementing new systems, processes, or organizational changes-without formal change management training-you are exposed to risk.

This session gives you a practical foundation in change management so you can:

• Communicate the case for change more clearly and effectively
• Reduce resistance and confusion and increase stakeholder buy-in
• Improve adoption and engagement
• Protect your credibility and results during change

Whether you’re new to change management or supporting change informally, this primer equips you with foundational insight and practical perspective-and helps you decide if formal OCM training, such as the the CCMP® certification path, is right for you.

If change is part of your role, this knowledge is no longer optional.
