Change Analyst Program

Why the certification is relevant

With both the markets changing, increased customer demands, regular product modifications, service renovation as well as digital transformation, change is a constant factor that is happening both inside and outside of your organisation, whether you realise it or not. Every day, new initiatives and projects are launched to meet value expectations, improve performance, align, unify, optimise, decrease cost, increase profits, and enhance your competitive advantage.

Research has revealed that close to 95% of any innovation or transformation programs or projects fail. This is confirmed by the 9 out of 10 IT program or project failure to deliver on promise. Why are the numbers so high, and how can that be?

We have identified that there is a common denominator for success in such programs/projects in achieving the intended outcomes of your initiatives; people!

The Change Analyst Program including Individual Performance Coaching is offered as a 5 days training program and is designed and certified by the Global University Alliance.

Focus of the Change Analyst

The Change Analyst Program focuses on helping people change how they do their jobs, allowing you to capture the adoption contribution and the people-dependent portion of the value creation.

The Change Analyst Program is aimed at producing outcomes and results, and requires a different kind of thinking and new cross-functional disciplines. It does so by adding theories, practice and modelling capabilities to the practitioner’s skill set.

Individual Performance Coaching

It is only through coaching and building on the participant’s existing knowledge that capabilities are gained and applied.

Individual Performance Coaching is an integrated element of the Change Analyst education and training program to ensure that the frameworks, methods, approaches, and modelling principles are customized, adopted and applied in a real-world project setting with a personalized action plan.

The participant will discover how to drive forth fundamental changes within their organization and to achieve the objectives set in both innovation and transformation projects.

Upon successful completion of this program, you will become a certified Change Analyst.
