ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Change Leadership Certification Program
Welcome to our Change Leadership Certification Program. This program is a chance for you to enhance your leadership skills and become an effective change leadership and change management professional. In the rapidly evolving business world, organizations constantly seek changes. Fueled by societal changes due to COVID-19 disruption and Age of AI, the change is going to be the new normal. Even without such disruption, change efforts are known to not meet their goals, often because change agents lack proper change management skills. Therefore, leading and managing change effectively as a competency is required for all senior management roles. Change management is complex, and research shows that many initiatives fail due to managers' ineffective handling of these changes. Change agents often struggle with communicating the need for change, engaging employees, and overcoming resistance. This program provides essential training in change management, ensuring you're equipped to lead successful change initiatives. Our program goes beyond theory, focusing on practical application with a pedagogy that is participative and now is AI assisted for a more personalized, interactive, and effective learning experience (read more below in our methodology section). It's designed for change agents like HR managers, enhancing their ability to assess situations, influence others, and communicate change effectively. You'll gain insights into change models and develop self-awareness as a leader and change agent. Since 2016, our comprehensive program called Leadership and Change Management has guided over a thousand mid-to-senior professionals, receiving high praise for its impact and effectiveness. Now offered in a concise 4-day format, it's more accessible while still providing deep insights and practical skills. This format is used to train many senior managers from various organizations and is very effective in developing change competency. Program goals: Learn essential skills and strategies for effective change implementation. Gain practical and theoretical knowledge about individual and organizational change. Master conducting gap analyses, executing large-scale changes, and crafting change plans.

This program is designed with a pedagogical approach that emphasizes active participation, reflection, and collaborative learning. We firmly believe that the best methodology for effective learning involves creating opportunities for participants to engage in meaningful conversations, learn from each other’s experiences, and apply their knowledge in real-world scenarios. To achieve this, we have incorporated the following key elements into the program:
Case Discussions: Real-world case studies will be used to explore and analyze various leadership and change management challenges. Through lively discussions facilitated by expert faculty, participants will gain insights into different perspectives, approaches, and best practices.
Group Work: Collaborative group activities and projects will be assigned to foster teamwork and encourage participants to learn from one another (peer learning). By working together, sharing experiences, and tackling complex scenarios, participants will deepen their understanding of leadership and change management principles.
Online Simulation: As part of the program, participants will have the opportunity to engage in an online simulation developed by Harvard Business School. This simulation will provide a realistic virtual environment where participants can apply their leadership and change management skills, make strategic decisions, and experience the consequences of their actions.
Customized AI Application: We provide customized AI applications to practice concepts for your own workplace for many concepts in the program. This provides you with an opportunity to take your learning to the next level by providing a personalized learning experience. This is made possible due to our proprietary AI tools designed specifically for this program.
By incorporating these pedagogical methods, we aim to create a rich and interactive learning experience that goes beyond traditional classroom lectures. Participants will actively engage in thought-provoking discussions, gain practical insights, and develop the necessary skills to address real-world leadership and change management challenges.
