Description

Learn to utilize effective change management to deliver project results.


This Bigger Brain course will equip you to lead through change. Susan Stocker is certified in the change acceleration process and has been the change leader in major business transformations. She will explain how you can proactively plan for change, engage people in change, and monitor progress throughout the transition.


A strong understanding of change management is vital to help ensure a business initiative is successful. Susan will describe the Change Acceleration Process (CAP) and provide an in-depth explanation of each of its 5 stages. You’ll learn about the CAP Toolkit which provides essential tools for bringing the collective ideas of the CAP team together and for shaping the CAP plan deliverables.


You’ll learn how to get leaders prepared to actively support the change and to role model change behaviors, how to craft a vision statement, and how to use the elevator speech model to communicate your vision statement. You’ll also learn how to mobilize commitment through both Stakeholder Analysis and Technical/Political/Cultural Analysis.
