Our change foundations program provides you the pathway to develop critical change skills and become a perceptive change thinker and expert practitioner.
Our change practitioner certification is current, relevant, and reflective of best practice. It’s the perfect career development launchpad for all emerging and practising change analysts & managers or anyone looking to refresh and upskill in change management to meet current dynamic business expectations.

WHY SWITCH?
Habitude leads you to think and do change differently.
Current market capability offerings continue to focus on aged models such as Lewins Model (1947), Kotter 8 steps (1996) and ADKAR (2003) which are conceptually sound but do not offer real insight into solving for today’s change complexity.

Habitude integrates two fundamental change success factors:

Mobilisation
Readiness

showing you how to build intelligent change programs that solve for a complex business context which has:

Internal cultural expectations regarding behaviour,
A need to operationalise new ways of working

Across many dynamic change landscapes, including:

Technology and AI Advancement
Customer’s Service and Product expectations
Shareholder’s performance expectations
Regulator’s operational directives
Community expectations about social and environmental impact
Leader’s accountability and responsibility to all of the above in times of change

Change Practitioner Certification Overview

Change Fundamentals provides the knowledge and practice required to start you on your career journey of mastery in change practice.
Anyone who needs to think or do in different ways because of change, needs well thought through targeted support. The role of change management is to consider and design the many and varied strategies and tactics that will achieve movement to the future state in support of each person that needs to reach it.

What you will learn:
Switch Habitude (habit+attitude) – methods and tools that will enable you to apply different thinking in the development of tactical change path creation that is predictive and effective.
(Tried and tested in ASX200 companies and Government Departments).
Switch Habitude begins with understanding where your organisations change is aiming and then designing all the overt and covert inputs required to achieve the change by considering:

Required mind-set shifts
The immovable cultural characteristics
Capability development (across all ways of working)
The different roles required in change to mobilise
Change engagement strategies (for impacted people and stakeholders)

The Habitude Result:
Organisations hit their mark when executing change and people feel well supported in their change journeys.
