About the organisation
2020 has been a year of large-scale surprises in both Australia and internationally. We’re living in a world full disruption and constant change on many levels. Fast thinking and agile responses to deal with this disruption come from fresh thinking and new models.
The Change Management Institute seeks to support those who operate in this space. It’s a global, independent, not for profit association of change professionals; created and operated by members for members, constantly striving to push the boundaries of the change management profession.
Established in 2005, Change Management Institute has grown a strong membership and operates globally – with chapter presence in 6 countries in both northern and southern hemispheres. Their focus for members is on growing capability, facilitating connectivity, and building credibility. They achieve this through the establishment of standards in the industry, provision of education and opportunities for networking. They work to constantly evolve the effectiveness of change.
Their global membership is diverse, appealing to individuals who have a passion for or an interest in change: those at the top of their game and those starting out.
