Advanced Professional Certificate in Change Management & Organisational Development (ADKAR/Prosci Awareness)
The programme equips leaders and practitioners to plan and deliver people-centred change that
sticks. Blending Change Management (with ADKAR/Prosci awareness) and OrganisationalDevelopment (OD).
Course Overview
The programme equips leaders and practitioners to plan and deliver people-centred change that
sticks. Blending Change Management (with ADKAR/Prosci awareness) and Organisational
Development (OD), it provides a complete toolkit for stakeholder engagement, change impact
assessment, communications, capability building, cultural alignment, and benefits realisation. You
will design a practical change plan, run a governance cadence, and measure adoption so that
transformation translates into sustained performance.
Why This Course is Important?
- Execution beats intention: Strategies fail without adoption; this course turns plans into behaviour change.
- Human + system lens: Integrates OD (culture, design, ways of working) with structured change methods.
- Audit-ready evidence: Produces trackable artefacts—impact logs, comms plans, training plans, adoption KPIs.
