  Advancing the Discipline of Change Management One Student At A Time

  ACMP Midwest Chapter and Northwestern University would like to extend a special offer to engage in a remote experiential learning opportunity.  The special Midwest chapter member reduced rate for this 5 week course will be $2295 vs. the regular $2550 rate for non-members.   

  Design thinking offers the potential to create an agile, human-centered approach to the continuous change that most of us now face in our organizations. But leading change through design thinking depends on having the right set of methods and frameworks to help guide you along the way. This course will introduce you to those design methods and frameworks, including how to lead a discovery process to better empathize with those who will be impacted by a change, how to lead idea generation to avoid narrowly-framed solutions, and how to implement change through a test to learn approach that allows for iteration and feedback. As a participant in this course, you'll walk away with new tools and methods to more effectively lead change in environments requiring agility.
  
  https://www.eloc.northwestern.edu/courses/leading-change-through-design.html

  What will be Covered:

  • Session 1: Overview of Change & Design
    • What it means to take a design thinking approach to change.
    • Practice reframing the change at your work with your team coaching circle.
  • Session 2: Discovery Methods
    • Generating insights and inspiration from those impacted by change.
    • How to synthesize discovery into productive insights.
  • Session 3: Ideation and Testing to Learn
    • Generating new ways to approach change.
    • Taking an experimental mindset to test and iterate.
  • Session 4: Interviewing and Journey Mapping
    • Interviewing to engage people in leading change.
    • Practice journey mapping to visualize the change process.
  • Session 5: Divergent Thinking and your Personal Case
    • Designing interventions for various stages of your journey map.
    • Testing, refining, and iterating your approach through engaging others.

  The course is for:

  • We designed this course for individuals who depend on creating innovative solutions and who need greater agility in their organizations or teams; when the tools of the past are not up to the challenges we currently face. Practitioners in for-profit and non-profit industries will both benefit from the course. No previous design experience is needed.

  The sessions will be facilitated by Jeff Bailey, PhD, PMP, CCMP. Jeff lives in downstate Illinois. He passed his CCMP in December 2020 and has shared some of his study materials with other certification candidates in the last year, which inspired him to step forward and help the Midwest Chapter.

He has spent the last 15 years facilitating the change process generated by large information system implementations within a variety of public and private sector organizations throughout the US. Jeff also helped a variety of clients in the Chicagoland area as an independent consultant in the 1990s and early 2000s developing learning and performance support solutions.

  Impactful Communication: How to Communicate More Effectively and Increase Productivity in the Workplace

  Have you ever found workplace communication challenging or wondered why colleagues communicate differently? In this session, professionals will explore insights they can apply to communication challenges within the workplace and  learn how to strengthen relationships, have their voices heard and shift power dynamics to neutral ground to build and/or enhance skills. By being aware of personality traits, gender and differences in communication styles, professionals will be more productive, accountable, cohesive, connected and have the ability to communicate more effectively. Improving communication in the workplace positively impacts business operations and team performance.

  Learning Objectives

  1. Recognize challenges arise and overall productivity decreases when professionals don’t communicate effectively or understand each other’s styles and personality traits
  2. Recognize different ways effective communication leads to a better workplace environment – ultimately improving employee engagement and efficiency.
