Course description

While there are numerous approaches to Change Management, Acuity’s Change Management Program encompasses the general industry standard of evaluating the organization’s issue/problem, initiating action to make change, planning the change while encouraging stakeholder buy-in, executing the plans while being flexible to the changing landscape, and how to sustain the change and make it “stick” so that the organization truly gains benefits of the change.

Unlike other online change management courses, learners in Acuity’s Change Management Program will also learn the process of change through a simulated project in which they can practice the top skills of Change Leaders. In addition, learners are provided Acuity’s Change Management Toolkit which enables them with the tools to immediately make a positive Change Management impact within their organization.

Acuity Institute’s courses are conducted online and use a multi-media format that includes audio from experts, examples of successful performance improvement, interactive simulations and quizzes, and the most current and robust tools and techniques available. This is a “self-paced” online course and can be accessed at any time—and—anywhere, which provides the most flexibility in completing the course. Learners have three months to complete the course. When dedicating around 5 hours per week, the average learner completes the course in approximately 6 weeks.

Here's what learners had to say about this course

Dr. Carlos Colon Riollano
Change Management Professional

This is very practical course that is aligned with the Association of Change Management Professional Standard. It does provide with hands on tools and practice exercises, offering a constructivist experience to the student.

I enjoyed the course, and recommend it for persons who wants to understand change management process as well as getting additional material to get ready for the CCMP certification.

Kudos!

Sharon Burton
Change Management Professional

The Acuity Institute Change Management course is very comprehensive, and rigorous. I found that the coursework complimented my work of transitioning organizations, teams, and individuals by using methods proposed to re-direct the use of resources, business processes, understanding and/or other approaches to operations that notably guide individuals toward the redesign of companies and institutions. This course will certainly benefit change management professionals whether they are seasoned or new to the field.

 

Jim Bursey
Change Management Professional

I have really enjoyed the Change Management curriculum. I found it grounded in reality, unlike many other training programs which are too generic and artificial.

 

It was quite refreshing to see that my 30 years of experience were very applicable to this exercise. My fears that the course would be so generic that my experience wouldn’t be that helpful were completely unfounded.

Shelley Churchill
Change Management Professional

I was looking for an easy, affordable CM (Change Management) training program to fit with my already full schedule. I needed something to use toward my Change Management Certification so it needed to be aligned with the Association of Change Management Professional process. Luckily, I found Acuity as it was listed as a QEP and I was thrilled. I am a career change professional so my standards are high and I’ve seen many methods come and go. I found the content to be solid and informative AND I learned some new concepts! Additionally the toolkit was fabulous and the fact that it was integrated and linked in one file is superb! I would highly recommend this training – it is the biggest value for the money out there for basic, CM understanding, skills and tools. Kudos!

Simulated Projects

At Acuity Institute, we recognize that not every individual has the opportunity to complete an actual project while completing training; therefore, we have created real world simulated projects that takes students from the beginning to the end of a problem and solution using the methodology trained in the course. The simulated project helps to build the student’s understanding of the concepts taught in training and provides practical application of the tools and methodology. Students complete the course better prepared to apply what they have learned in the real world.

The simulation is based on a hypothetical company that faces many of the same problems companies are dealing with today. Students complete challenging exercises and tollgate weviews which build on previously learned tools and concepts taught in training. When complete, students have a significant perspective on what true business improvement means and a tangible “project story” that they can utilize throughout their process improvement journey.

There is no comparison for these simulations in the marketplace today. No other provider offers a more comprehensive project simulation such as ours which includes numerous project deliverables, challenging analysis, and project tollgate reviews.

Toolkits

For many of Acuity’s courses, we have assembled a Toolkit, which contains a complete, user-friendly set of the templates included in the course. The toolkit assists practitioners in keeping focused on their project work and not creating “templates”. For ease of use, the templates can be downloaded directly to your computer and are yours to keep and utilize in future projects. The templates have been developed in common formats (MS Word, MS Excel or MS PowerPoint).
