NMI 144: Becoming a Champion of Change (June 2025)
What does it take to be a champion of change and how can we best set up our champion for success? Becoming a champion of change—achieving buy-in and managing complex change—is not a one-time event. It is an ongoing, competency-building process. It requires the involvement of not only champions but also change management professionals, senior leaders, managers, and employees. It requires teamwork, building coalitions, and partnerships. It requires effective communication. The big difference between companies that successfully implement key initiatives and those that don’t, lies in their ability to effectively manage change. In this course, you'll explore the topic of organizational change what it takes to be a champion for change, including the characteristics, responsibilities, and drivers of effective champions.
