Certified Change Agent Program

80% of CEOs cite the ability to adapt to change as a source of competitive advantage. Emergent can help you develop your internal change capability in order to build and sustain long-term adaptability. The Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT) Certified Change Agent program is a comprehensive approach designed to develop strong organizational change facilitators within your organization.

PROGRAM COMPONENTS

The ACT Certified Change Agent program includes the following components:

• Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT) Workshop
  This Human Resources Certification Institute (HRCI)-accredited one-day workshop will enhance participants’ organizational change management skills and better enable them to facilitate the change process. The workshop is delivered in-house at the client site and includes a comprehensive participant binder with activities and templates. After the workshop participants will be able to:
  • Articulate the importance of change leadership
  • Define what change leadership is…and is not
  • Use a common change leadership language
  • Navigate the Accelerating Change & Transformation (ACT) model
  • Integrate change best practices into business initiatives
  • Uncover organizational change opportunities

• Change Accelerator
  At the completion of the workshop, each participant will receive a license to Change Accelerator, our comprehensive web-based toolkit with 60+ downloadable tools and templates, ACT^TM model, and best practices for facilitating change within your organization. The Change Accelerator resources can be accessed 24/7 during the license period of six to 12 months.

• Personalized coaching 
  An Emergent change expert will be assigned to each participant. After the workshop, the participant and consultant will schedule a series of coaching sessions, during which the consultant will help the participant tailor the organizational change strategies and best practices to his or her specific business initiative.

• Applied learning
  Over a two- to three-month period following the workshop, the participant will apply organizational change strategies and best practices from the workshop, using the ACT^TM change model and Change Accelerator tools. During this period, the participant will record challenges, strategies, and results in a log. After the applied learning period, the participant will submit the completed log to the Emergent consultant for final review and debrief.

• Certificate of successful completion
  Once the participant has demonstrated competency in effectively applying the ACT^TM  method, he or she will be certified as an ACT^TM Change Agent, and will receive a certificate of completion along with 7.5 HR Certification Institute (HRCI) credits.
