Overview
Active and visible executive sponsorship has been identified as the greatest contributor to successful change in all nine of Prosci’s benchmarking studies conducted over the last 18 years. The research also reveals that over half of sponsors have a less than adequate understanding of what they need to do to effectively lead change. The Prosci Change Management Sponsor Program provides senior leaders with the knowledge to become more effective change leaders and improve change outcomes for their organizations.
The program focuses on your organization’s current portfolio of change initiatives to demonstrate the critical connection between effective change management and achieving business results. The program content is based on best practices research and includes practical tactics that are immediately applicable.
