The Change Management Body Of Knowledge (CMBoK) + The Change Managers Handbook
THE EFFECTIVE CHANGE MANAGER - The Change Management Body Of Knowledge (CMBoK)
The Change Management Body of Knowledge was launched in October, 2013 with the formal title of The effective change manager / The Change Management Body of Knowledge. In thirteen short chapters (see list later), it describes the core knowledge that every Change Manager needs to know. Produced as collaborative effort between APMG-International and the Change Management Institute (CMI), it is an invaluable source of information. This CMBoK is a major resource for practitioners of Change Management and those who work alongside change managers, project/programme managers, communications professionals, learning and development experts, line managers, and executives. It is also an excellent companion to anyone sitting the Change Management Foundation exam |
