Certificate in Change Management
After taking the change management program, I started to really hone in on the areas where we evaluate the impacts, because most people want to know how they are going to be affected. Being communicated to by a person who has built that trust and credibility with them has made this easier." See Sandy's profile on workday implementation. Read full article here.

Change Management Fundamentals
I'd signed up for this course to learn specifics on change management that I could apply straight away with projects at work. Not only did I gain significant knowledge on the process of change management but I came away with a comprehensive toolkit that I could put into practice right away. This course is a great primer for anyone wanting to build their confidence in helping their projects succeed!
Kim Mech

UBC Sauder School of Business
Certificate in Change Management
I had been wanting to take a course that gave me some additional tools to be able to work with and help my team in an ever-changing environment, which the past year has certainly shaped up to be. After taking the fundamentals course, I knew I wanted to pursue this further. Not only will it serve me at present, but there are so many additional elements I will be able to use. I’m looking forward to expanding on my change management toolkit, as I’m sure there will be many aspects of it that can be used broadly.
