The Certified Associate in Change Management with TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification
As a multi-award-winning “hidden champion” in change management, we have developed a change management certification program in collaboration with TÜV Rheinland. The Certified Associate in Change Management—a TÜV Rheinland-certified qualification—is based on our field-proven methodology, the CPC Change Compass, and focuses on the systematic development of practical skills. Our vision is to empower people to successfully shape change within their organizations.
“The CPC Change Compass is based on real-world project experience and makes change management immediately applicable.”
Anne Babilon-Teubenbacher, Partner at CPC
