What you'll learn

Plans don't fail at execution. They fail before it; when critical components are missing, misaligned, or built without the people in mind. Whether you're a change practitioner, a leader building your change leadership capability, or a professional preparing for the CCMP exam, this course delivers the depth, precision, and practical tools you need. In this course, Change Management: Developing the Plan, you'll learn to build every component of a Change Management Plan. This is the fourth course in the CCMP certification path and has been fully updated to align with Version 2 of The Standard for Change Management, authored by the Association of Change Management Professionals (ACMP). First, you'll learn to build all eight component plans of a comprehensive Change Management Plan, and you’ll learn why change communication so often misses its audience, how to keep sponsors accountable for the full journey, and finally, how to build a Sustainability Plan that prevents the most common failure in change management, declaring victory too soon. Then, you'll explore how to integrate your plans with project management and secure formal approval. Finally, you'll see how to build the feedback mechanisms that keep everything on course once execution begins. By the end of this course, you'll have the knowledge, frameworks, and confidence to build a complete Change Management Plan that is deliberate, evidence-based, and aligned with globally recognized best practices, and if you're preparing for the CCMP exam, you'll walk away ready to take it.
