Change Management Body of Knowledge: CMBoK
Informed by international research and peer review, the CMBoK™ 2nd edition, represents one of the best resources for Change Professionals and organisations seeking to improve their Change Management capability.
Starting with the Change Management Institute Change Manager Competency Model (what Change Managers do), the Change Management Body of Knowledge (CMBoK™) describes what Change Managers must know in order to display those competencies effectively and to deliver change successfully.
What is the purpose of the CMBoK?
- Identifies the Knowledge Areas required to practice effectively as a Change Manager
across a range of situations.
Provides definitions and descriptions of each of these Knowledge Areas, including a
clear indication of the depth of knowledge required in each area. - Offers reliable, reputable, and realistic range of reference sources in which these
Knowledge Areas can be found and studied. - Offers a range of recommended reference points our members rely on to inform their
- practice. Pays homage to original texts that stand the test of time and also seeks to introduce
- new ideas and fresh thinking.
Shows how the knowledge areas underpin practical application by providing access
to a standard change practice framework.
