Leadership & Management
Advanced Prosci Change Management Program
A five-day programme based on the Prosci methodology that equips practitioners to assess change readiness, build communication and sponsor plans, manage resistance and measure adoption with ADKAR metrics.
Introduction
Projects fail far more often because people resist the change than because the technical solution is wrong. The Advanced Prosci Change Management Program Training Course builds the capability to manage that human side using the Prosci methodology. Participants learn to apply the ADKAR model, assess change readiness, and structure change plans that address individual transitions rather than only project milestones. Furthermore, the course covers sponsor engagement, resistance management, and communication planning. In addition, it addresses the integration of change management with project management. As a result, participants return able to raise adoption rates and protect the return on change investments.
