Description
Starting a change effort can be really tough. Implementing the change can be even tougher. Sometimes you need a little help.
A well thought through Change Plan can help you fully understand your change, decide on the best approach for your change and help you identify the right people to manage your change.
Terrapin Agrada’s AMAZING Change Management Plan video series will help you to build your own Change Plan.
Download and use the Change Plan template provided to create your Change Plan that addresses your situation, your circumstances, the type of change you are implementing and the types of resources available to you to implement it.
Then watch the videos covering change management basics and popular change models and theories. From there, add to / amend / build on your Change Plan, with your new information and new insights.
Armed with the latest research, your Change Plan will help guide you through the pitfalls of change management with ease.

I help people to understand the change process, the roles they play in change and how they can encourage others through it.
About me:
Early in my career I was first asked to 'manage a project'. I was not asked because I was already a Project Manager, nor because I even knew what a project was, but because there was a desperate need for resources and they were literally asking anyone and everyone! I learned on the job, as I went a long. It turns out I was pretty good at it, but my early project history was pretty hit and miss. Sometimes it was good, sometimes not so much...
After a few years, I finally got some project management training. It helped give me credibility as I put some method behind my madness and my results improved. If only I had had someone to tell me all of this from the beginning, I could have saved myself so much frustration and fewer burnt bridges!
Over the years, I have become accredited in several best practise methodologies to get better and better at my own project management, as well as helping others improve with theirs. I have been using both traditional (waterfall) and iterative (agile) approaches throughout my career. I see value in both; each with their own purpose, time and place. Sometimes that includes a hybrid of both.
In my courses, I aim to share my project and change experiences (good and bad) to help others progress in their careers. Change can be hard. And I truly believe the better prepared you are, the better your experiences will be.
