Practitioner of Change™ Core Program
The Practitioner of Change™ program centers around
5 core sessions, each consisting of 3 days. The following
is a brief description of the high level learning outcomes
for each session. The design is intricately integrated,
with each core session building off the last. As a learning
system, participants have a first hand opportunity to
examine and explore organizational dynamic as they are
learning about them conceptually. Our philosophy is
“you can’t take an individual, group or
an organization a place you haven’t been”
so we design the learning process to ensure that practitioners
have first hand and deep experience with the impact
of processes to influence organization effectiveness.
