If you don’t want your teams to study via the open courses with attendees from other organisations, I can provide the certification courses in-house. The course syllabus will remain the same because it must meet the requirements of the examination, but the examples and situations used on the course are tailored to your own situation. This means that everyone attending learns the material using real-life examples from their own organisation, ensuring relevance and pragmatism. I can provide this for any of my courses Change Management Practitioner, Agile Change Agent or Agent Change Coach or any other topic related to change management. 

I am a highly experienced consultant, and I know the course material extremely well. This gives me the ability to work through multiple examples on the same course. We can work together to create an example scenario, but many of my clients just like to bring their current issues to the course and work through these during each activity. They find the chance to practice new techniques and skills on their own work incredibly valuable, often having moments of discovery that had eluded them until now. The course gives them the confidence to try new ideas and the input to create new approaches that quickly become new standards of best practice.

A master class is an event that explains the best practice approaches to in a specific topic. To develop my master classes, I use the latest research and examples from a wide variety of organisations around the world. I deliver master classes on topics in which I have an extensive practical and theoretical knowledge, with my global consultancy assignments providing the basis of the examples I share, and my continuing professional development as the source of the academic research keeps the material fresh and current.

These are the most requested master classes, but I tailor the content to be relevant, engaging and inspiring for my audience:

• Basics of change management – tailored to meet three audience types: Senior leaders; line managers; staff impacted by change
• Core elements for sponsorship of projects and change initiatives
• Portfolio management and its relationship to change management
• How to identify, describe, measure and realise benefits
• Basics of agile change
• Introduction to culture change – for senior leaders defining the culture for their organisations; for managers leading the adoption of new cultural norms.
• Introduction to behaviour change – for line managers responsible for adopting new ways of working; for change professionals looking for a kick-start into the neuroscience and positive psychology of behaviour change.

Each master class is supported by a full range of training materials in different formats to support different learning preferences. Pre-event materials are developed to ensure everyone can attend the master class with the same basic understanding of the topic, so no-one is left behind. 

Throughout the event, everyone is encouraged to ask questions and share their views so that I can meet their needs. I am very experienced in all aspects of change and transformation, project and programme management and portfolio management. This means I can increase or decrease the depth and breadth of the subject to meet the needs of my audience at all times.

These workshops create solutions for progressing your project and change initiatives; transferring knowledge and developing skills.

I tailor all my workshops to your needs, but these most requested workshops will give you some ideas of the things that I can facilitate for you:

• Scoping and planning your change initiative.
• Overcoming resistance to change
• Building emotional resilience.
• Benefits – identifying and measuring.
• Designing and establishing your change agent network.
• Building your internal change management team.
• Stakeholder and communications workshop.

For each workshop I will design an agenda of activities that enable your team to create a consensus view of the challenge and brainstorm ideas for how to solve the issues. We will use this input to work through a series of techniques that assess the impact, evaluate the outcomes and prioritise the responses. At the end of the workshop, there will be a plan of next steps, with each task scheduled, resourced and described in detail so that everyone is clear how to progress.

I know many of you are managing in-house communities of practice, hosting lunch and learn sessions and mini-conferences. To support you, I will develop a keynote presentation tailored to your situation. You can record my delivery to share with others and I will provide you with my presentation material and follow on resources for those who want more detail.
