The Institute of Change Management International (ICMI) has offered direct membership to interested professionals across all sectors of the business community, government establishments, agencies and institutions even as it flagged off an initiative aimed at building change management capacity across all sectors through the development of the change management competences in the country.
The Registrar of the Institute, Joseph Anetor, in a statement, said that the Institute is set up to regulate, train and certify practitioners in the practice of organizational change management. It is registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission and approved by the Federal Ministry of Education.
Anetor, a human resource expert said that the institute was established as a critical intervention and response to the urgent need for a more professional and impactful change management practices in organizations.
He said that getting businesses to run smoothly and the team aligned to the business strategy require a radical re-assessment of current change management practices in organizations in order to achieve desirable business outcomes.
“Any change programme that does not take due cognizance of the people element is doomed to fail.”
Anetor advised interested career minded professionals to take advantage of this window to become certified as the speed of growth of any professional in any organisation is defined by his or her ability to anticipate and manage change successfully.
“This is what differentiates the high-flying employees who consistently deliver strong results.” Anetor said that details are available at www.icming.org. [myad]
