This course is pretty unique in that it focuses on the types of behaviors and challenges we face when dealing with change. It’s the human connections and approaches that need to change to ensure the frameworks, methodologies and processes work. The Prosci ADKAR method is the closest alternative but it still a method to ‘apply’. The Change Ninja is more about experience, reflection and building new approaches for brain friendly change.
