What is change management?

Change management is the structured support of change processes within organizations, from analysis and planning through to implementation. When combined with digital transformation, the goal is to design technology and AI implementations in such a way that they are truly integrated into everyday work.

Who is this training program suitable for?

This training is designed for professionals and practitioners who are actively involved in or coordinate change projects but do not have formal training in change management. You have professional experience and are responsible for digitalization or AI initiatives within your team or department.

For which professional groups is the training relevant?

This training is relevant across all industries. It is particularly suitable for the following roles:

  • As a Digital Enabler, you will coordinate digitalization and AI initiatives across departments
  • As a project manager for transformation projects, you will oversee the change management aspect in addition to the traditional implementation
  • As a team lead, you prepare your team for new tools and ways of working and help overcome resistance
  • As an AI specialist with implementation responsibilities, you will roll out AI solutions in a way that ensures they are accepted and used by the team

In this training you will learn:

Change Frameworks
AI Adoption
Stakeholder Communication
  • Clearly distinguish between the key terms "change," "transformation," and "transition," and differentiate them from project and business analysis
  • Analyze drivers of change and maturity levels, and systematically assess AI potential
  • Apply five key frameworks (Lewin, Kotter, ADKAR, Cynefin, Senge) and select them for your own context based on sound reasoning
  • Define change-specific KPIs and distinguish between leading and lagging indicators
  • Identify cultural artifacts and evaluate four dimensions of AI readiness
  • Identify types of resistance and address them with psychological confidence and leadership tools
  • Classify stakeholders in a power-interest matrix and design communication roadmaps tailored to specific target groups
  • Establishing benefits realization as a process and identifying typical patterns of return after go-live

Understanding and Planning Digital Transformation
toggle

You understand change, analyze transformation, apply change models, and plan based on data.

Chapter 1: Understanding Change, Drivers, Context, Transformation

You explain the core concepts of change, transformation, and transition, and distinguish change management from project and business analysis. Using the scenario of a HealthTech scale-up, you identify drivers of change and typical causes of failure.

Chapter 2: Classifying Transformation, Maturity Levels, Gap Analysis, and AI Potential

You define digital transformation and distinguish it from IT projects. You will apply a gap analysis, assess AI potential, and identify seven typical pitfalls in AI implementations.

Chapter 3: Applying Change Models, from Lewin to Cynefin

You apply five core frameworks (Lewin, Kotter, ADKAR, Cynefin, Senge), understand their interrelationships, and select the appropriate model for your change context based on sound reasoning.

Chapter 4: Planning Change, Management, Data, and KPIs

You define change-specific KPIs, distinguish between leading and lagging indicators, and interpret adoption metrics. You analyze an employee survey in Excel and formulate a business case.

Implementing and embedding change
toggle

You shape culture, address resistance, communicate in a way that resonates with your audience, and ensure success.

Chapter 1: Shaping Culture, AI Adoption, and Mindset

You identify cultural artifacts and derive values. You evaluate four enablement dimensions for AI readiness and identify three key levers for cultural change.

Chapter 2: Understanding and Addressing Resistance

You identify four types of resistance and their causes using real-world examples. You understand psychological safety as a leadership lever and are familiar with co-determination rights regarding digital systems.

Chapter 3: Reaching Stakeholders, Communication, and Change Leadership

You will systematically identify stakeholders, classify them in the Power-Interest Matrix, and design a communication roadmap. You will apply three operational change leadership practices to your daily work.

Chapter 4: Securing Success, Evaluation, Benefits, and Embedding

You will establish benefits realization as a process, recognize typical regression patterns after go-live, and develop a crisis response plan for five common change crises.

Chapter 5: Planning the Transfer, Project, and Closure

You integrate six core components (stakeholders, framework, interventions, KPIs, benefits, communication) and present your project to a simulated steering committee.
