ChangeQuest gains APM Group Accreditation
ChangeQuest, the training company that combines the rigour of project management with the passion of NLP, has achieved accredited status from APM Group to deliver the Change Management qualification. The first public courses take place in March 2009 and can be booked at www.changequest.co.uk.
Ranjit Sidhu founded ChangeQuest in 2005, building on over 20 years' project management and business experience. For over 10 years, Ranjit has focused on training for organisations seeking to improve project and change management capability. She has a particular interest in helping individuals and organisations achieve fast and effective transformation within the context of the economic downturn.
"Solid processes are essential to good project management," she asserts, "But, increasingly, people are acknowledging that this really isn't enough. The Change Management qualification applies the human perspective to transformation projects, looking at change through the eyes of the individual, the team, the organisation and those in leadership roles. The change management qualification gives organisations and individuals the information they need to demonstrate skill across both the process-based and the 'softer' factors that have been shown to positively influence project success."
APM Group's Change Management qualification has been available since June 2006 and following an upgrade with the launch of the revised course book, the qualification is attracting significant numbers of students. ChangeQuest is the first accredited training organisation that combines a project management and an NLP approach.
The one day 'Introduction to the Principles of Change Management' course takes place on March 16th 2009, with the first 3 day qualification course commencing on April 15th 2009. Book online at www.changequest.co.uk or email training@changequest.co.uk.
