Organizational Change Management Applied


The Organizational Change Management Applied (OCA) certification takes participants beyond the foundational theories to the practical and actionable application of organizational change management research, concepts, frameworks, theories, and models. This certification will enable participants to understand the dynamics of how people respond to change, so they can successfully lead the people side of a change initiative.

Who is this for?

The OCA certification is relevant to everyone involved in change initiatives – especially those who lead, manage, and support organizational change initiatives. This includes but is not limited to C-level leaders; change leaders such as VPs, directors, and senior management; consultants and facilitators; and those aspiring to become effective leaders of change.

Why get certified?

The majority of change initiatives fail because the people and cultural side of change is overlooked – with many individuals resisting change. This certification demonstrates that the participant received both advice and tools for gaining employee commitment, as well as techniques for helping staff embrace and sustain the change initiative. Participants will also learn how to gain employee commitment and overcome resistance, as well as acquire techniques to inspire staff to embrace and sustain change throughout their respective organizations.
