AI is no longer a future consideration, it’s transforming the way organisations work today.
Successful enterprise AI adoption isn’t just about implementing new technology, it’s about helping people embrace new ways of working with confidence, trust and purpose.
Join Brenda Frith, Associate Director at Changeworks Consulting, as she shares practical insights from a real enterprise AI rollout. Drawing on first-hand experience, Brenda will share how a safety-first, people-centred change approach can drive meaningful AI adoption at scale.
The session will focus on the story of the rollout, key insights and tips for introducing AI in a responsible way that builds trust, psychological safety and adoption.
Whether you’re leading AI initiatives or preparing your organisation for what’s next, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can apply to your own enterprise AI journey.

Join the South Island Chapter for an afternoon of practical insights, discussion and networking focused on one of the biggest challenges facing organisations today: leading people through change.
Change continues to be a constant across every sector, and leaders are increasingly being asked to navigate uncertainty, support their people through transition and maintain performance in challenging environments.
Designed for professionals from across the Nelson, Tasman and Marlborough region, this interactive forum combines expert perspectives with facilitated discussions and practical activities that will help you reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing your own organisation.
Dr Carl Beuke, Principal Psychologist at Cerno, will share practical approaches for preparing leaders to support change, including managing resistance, building confidence and handling difficult conversations.
Joining Carl will be Barb Grant, author of Change Management that Sticks and an experienced change leader who specialises in helping organisations translate complex transformation into practical, people-focused action.
Together, they will share insights, experiences and lessons learned from supporting change across a wide range of organisations and industries.
You’ll leave with fresh perspectives, practical ideas, valuable regional connections and actions you can apply immediately in your own workplace.
Welcome to the summary of our Futures of Change research initiative. This report provides a snapshot of what was explored and a summary of our high-level findings. This initiative was the first of its kind for the Change Management Institute. It invites us all to expand the lens through which we currently view change, and to open our minds to the alternatives and possibilities presented by the research.
The report invites you into a different kind of conversation. It’s not a forecast, a best-practice guide, or a roadmap for certainty. It’s a space for curiosity. A provocation. A shared inquiry into what change could become, and what change professionals, adjacent roles and next generation leaders might need to navigate what’s next.

Our new transformational Change Portfolio Management (CPM) training course will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to apply CPM principles and techniques to drive successful change execution.
The course will introduce you to foundational concepts of CPM through discussions, interviews with experts, self-reflection, and group activities. The training is delivered over 4 consecutive half-days.
Great news: you can bundle purchasing the CPM Foundation Training Course and the CPM Advanced Training Course – just click on the register buttons to proceed.
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.
