Why become a Certified Change Agent?

The Change Agent program develops skills in change management and associated tasks for successful delivery of change in organizations and individuals. It is methodology agnostic, choosing to focus on critical thinking, insights and the tools, techniques and competencies to build unique approaches that fit unique change events.

The program covers theory and practice. Real life change situations are dispersed throughout the workshop content, with regular activities to build knowledge, collaborate with peers and develop plans for specific events brought to the table for discussion. Lego Serious Play is incorporated into the learning activities, with video analysis and of several group, pairs and individual activities. Learners leave with an understanding of the needs to develop their change approaches, practical tools for metrics, behaviours and engagement, as well as their own personal change agent profile.

“I would recommend this program to anyone that works in non-profit or Government Funded Programs even if they are not interested in obtaining the CCA designation. The information and tools shared are excellent for work environments where Change is the never-ending story.”

Mark Jenkins

“This workshop has the potential to change your mindset - which in turn alters your view of the world around you. The workshop was interesting and insightful from start to finish. The Lego Serious Play was well integrated into the teaching and dialogue. I have reflected on the workshop over the past few weeks and I have consciously chosen to be more curious in situations where in the past I might have been more anxious. Many thanks - a wholehearted recommendation.”

Dahlia

“I am truly thankful for the content and relevant/practical examples delivered at this workshop. The fact that we were a relatively small group and the facilitation super powers of Rich Batchelor created the perfect conditions for us to learn, share insights, and connect, this knowledge added value to the substance of the CCA workshop and contributed significantly to its success. I definitely recommend this certification training!”
