Change Management Certification (CMP)
Climate change. COVID-19. New technologies. The sources of change are endless, and all put pressures on people to adapt their strategies and plans, their policies and processes, and even their tools and staff to accommodate these changes. Understandably, resistance to the changes may be high and individuals will struggle with the impacts of the changes on their lives. With the fast pace of change today, organizations need to build capacity for managing how to adapt to change and how to help impacted individuals overcome their anxiety and resistance to the change.
