What is change management training and capability building?

Change management training and capability building gives an organization the methods, tools, and skills to run its own changes. The work is custom to one organization. It starts with an assessment of current change management capability, then produces a standardized organizational change management (OCM) methodology and toolkit, an integrated change plan framework, a training curriculum for change practitioners, workshops for managers and sponsors, and coaching of the internal team on live projects. BD Emerson delivers this work with our Andersen Consulting colleagues at Daniels Consulting Group, a firm of organizational psychologists and experienced business professionals founded in 2002 by Amy Daniels, Ph.D. The training prepares your people to use your methodology on your projects. We issue no public certification, and we claim no Prosci certification. Typical triggers are a new change management office or several large programs that affect the same employees at once.

Change capability assessment

Interviews, a review of recent projects, and a skills inventory show how the organization manages change today: who does the work, which methods they use, and where projects have lost adoption. The assessment sets the baseline and the priorities for everything built afterward.

OCM methodology and toolkit

One methodology gives every project the same stages, roles, and deliverables. The toolkit supplies the templates practitioners use at each stage, including impact assessments, stakeholder maps, communication plans, training plans, and readiness checklists.

Integrated change plan framework

The framework places every planned change on one calendar and shows which groups each change affects and when. Leaders use it to see where several changes reach the same team at once and to resequence work before employees are overloaded.

Practitioner training curriculum

A custom curriculum teaches change practitioners your methodology, with your templates and your current projects as case material. Modules cover impact assessment, stakeholder analysis, communication, training design, resistance, and adoption measurement.

Leading-change workshops

Workshops for managers and executive sponsors cover the part of change that only they can do: explaining the reason for a change, staying visible through it, answering hard questions from their teams, and reinforcing the new way of working.

Coaching on live projects

Daniels Consulting Group's consultants work beside your internal team on projects already under way. They review plans, sit in on stakeholder sessions, and give feedback, so practitioners apply the methodology with support before they run a change alone.

Our approach

Our approach

01

Assess current capability

We interview leaders and practitioners, review how recent changes were run, and score capability across methods, skills, sponsorship, and governance. The findings set priorities and a baseline to measure against.

02

Build the methodology and toolkit

We draft the OCM methodology, toolkit, and integrated change plan framework with your team, in your terminology and inside your project governance. Practitioners test each template on a current project before it is finalized.

03

Train practitioners and leaders

Practitioners complete the curriculum, and managers and sponsors attend leading-change workshops. Sessions are built on the organization's own projects, so participants leave with work they can apply immediately.

04

Coach and hand over

Our consultants coach the internal team on live projects and step back as practitioners gain confidence. Your change management office keeps the methodology, the toolkit, and the curriculum, and owns their upkeep.

We had a hard time finding the right company to partner with in support of our compliance journey. Some vendors sell the idea that they do the work, but then you end up doing everything. The ambiguity is what killed our last project. BD Emerson’s team has such great technical knowledge and understands the standard so well that they made us comfortable with moving fast. This has led to us closing major enterprise customers that were previously out of reach because of security and compliance.

Tom Watkins

CEO @ AMI AssetTrack

Lead an enterprise initiative to overhaul the organization's technology stack from ecommerce, corporate tech, and corporate security.

Supported ISO 42001 exercise and served as internal auditor.

Rubrik's privacy and compliance team began with the backbone of BD Emerson. BD Emerson supported building out the privacy program, GRC (ISO 27001, SOC 2, CMMC, FedRAMP), and the appsec function.

We needed a partner who could move quickly, without sacrificing precision. BD Emerson brought the expertise, structure, and speed we were looking for. Their team became an extension of ours, embedding themselves across the organization, guiding us step by step, and giving us confidence in areas we hadn’t tackled before. The internal audit they conducted was so detailed that even the external auditors called it out. Achieving ISO 27001 with zero nonconformities says everything you need to know about the quality of the partnership.
