This 1 day course is an introduction to role of the Business Change Manager (BCM) in any change programme. The course provides an overview of the responsibilities, tools and skills required to deliver this role effectively. The course can lead to the award of a nationally recognised certificate following an assessment exercise.
Public dates and venues:
New dates to be added soon.
On-site venues:
We also offer this course as a council specific, on-site business transformation skills course. The costs, structure, numbers and format of the on-site courses (e.g. numbers limited to 12-15 per course) will mirror the public courses, with the key difference that wherever possible the on-site courses will be tailored to meet the requirements of the council-specific project.
There is a need for a fair and transparent prioritisation mechanism in anticipation of large demand – see our on-site section for further details on prioritisation and how to apply.

Delivery Methodology:
The workshop content is driven by the attendees and their specific situation. The workshop facilitator will engage with the attendees to discuss their situation and adjust the topics and depth of discussion to meet their needs.
The material will be slides, with the delegates having supporting notes to provide additional information for each slide or to highlight key messages.
There will be no case study, as it is anticipated that the event will focus on the change programme for the authority and discussions will be encouraged within that context.
