APMG International’s Change Management framework is designed to help businesses, managers, stakeholders, and teams to understand, instigate, and enable successful change and transformation initiatives. It is based on the 'Effective Change Manager’s Handbook', which is aligned with the Change Management Institute’s (CMI) 'Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK)'.

The APMG Change Management framework provides practices, tools, and techniques for effectively managing change. These are designed to empower individuals to not only bring about effective change, but also to convince team members, stakeholders, and other actors of the value of supporting change initiatives.

In the modern world of business, expectations and requirements are constantly evolving. In order to remain competitive, a business must be prepared to embrace change, whether in terms of technology, management practices, regulations, or anything else.

The APMG Change Management framework equips organizations to take full advantage of opportunities for change and growth. Not only that, but it can also create cultures that are permanently supportive of change initiatives.

Change Management training is relevant to a number of potential students. These can include Change project managers, Transformation managers, Senior responsible owners, Business change managers, Change program managers, Operational line managers, Business stakeholders, and teams involved in change or transformation initiatives.

The APMG Change Management syllabus does not focus on a specific business model, industry, or location. As a result, the framework can be adopted by virtually any organization.

APMG Change Management training offers a variety of benefits to both individuals and wider businesses. For a practitioner, certification can unlock new responsibilities and higher-paying roles. For a business, investing in training can make change teams far more efficient, focused, and successful. This, in turn, can optimize the benefits of change initiatives.

The ability to evolve has become key to surviving in the modern world of business. This has led to an increase in demand for certified change management professionals. The APMG Change Management syllabus is also based on the world-class expertise and decades of experience offered by the Change Management Institute (CMI).
