Have you been hearing more about Change Portfolio Management and wondering what it really means? Are you curious about how it differs from other change approaches – and what it means for your own change practice?
Perhaps you’re considering a Change Portfolio Management training course and would like a clearer picture before committing.
We know it can be confusing when new terminology and approaches emerge, especially when they sound familiar but are different from what we’re used to. This session will cut through the complexity and provide the opportunity to ask questions, test your understanding, and learn from others.
Join us for this open session where our former President, Jane Judd, interviews Therese Walsh, Change Portfolio Management facilitator, to explore:

Approaches to Care for Leaders and Employees During High Periods of Change.
While continual change in organizations can create spaces of innovation and growth, it also naturally destabilizes the people infrastructure, increasing the risk of higher rates of friction, burnout, and uncertainty.
Furthermore, in today’s environment, complexity around change is amplified due to political, social, and economic forces. All of these factors directly impact the mental wellbeing of employees and can have a ripple effect within our organizations.
We have a pivotal opportunity to reimagine how change is planned for and implemented in today’s environment. By applying human-centered design and evidence-based approaches to wellbeing, leaders can design employee experiences that foster higher levels of resilience across individuals and teams.
This session will focus on the following objectives:
Join us to learn people-first approaches to change that strengthen wellbeing and build resilient teams.

Helped me to understand how to drive some of the harder conversations with decision making audiences, as well as giving that helicopter view needed to support those conversations vs getting too stuck in the detail of individual initiatives.
Very relevant content and I think it’s highly applicable too. I’m glad I’m investing myself to do this course now 🙂
Have already set up a meeting for my project director about how we manage change across a branch. Plus have shared the risks – they are gold! I will be adding to my LinkedIn and CV tonight!
Pre-requisites
This course assumes prior knowledge regarding change management concepts and change/project delivery language. Participants must:
I feel like I have the tools, theory and practical examples to take our CPM approach from infancy to adulthood (or at least teenager!) and be able to demonstrate the benefits of doing so to leadership and program delivery colleagues.
I particularly enjoyed the section on storytelling and creating that change narrative for the portfolio to inspire and refocus people.
The small group setting for this course was very helpful in enriching the discussion and building connections.
