Feeling Stuck in the Middle of a Change Effort?
You’ve been tasked with leading change—maybe it’s a process shift, a culture reboot, or a transformation that touches every corner of your organization. You’ve got a smart team and a strong mandate, but the momentum just isn’t there.
Sound familiar?
If you’ve ever struggled to get buy-in, translate vision into day-to-day action, or keep a project from stalling midway, you’re not alone. What most change efforts lack isn’t effort—it’s structure.
At XPLANE at TiER1, we believe anyone can lead change effectively. They just need a clear plan, proven tools, and a framework that’s flexible enough to fit their real-world context.
Three Steps to Change: Plan, Do, Sustain
The Change Management Certification was built for change agents in the real world—leaders and practitioners who want to create clarity, foster engagement, and drive real transformation.
Using a human-centered framework:
- PLAN: Build the foundation. Define your change, align your stakeholders, and anticipate resistance.
- DO: Put your plan into motion with targeted communications, facilitated sessions, and behavioral nudges.
- Sustain: Reinforce and sustain change by embedding new habits, measuring progress, and celebrating wins.
It’s more than a framework—it’s a set of 31 immediately usable tools to help you guide others through complexity with confidence and sustain change over time.
Why the Change Guides Approach Works
Our model is rooted in decades of consulting and facilitation experience with global clients across industries. We’ve learned that change sticks when it’s:
- Visual: Our tools simplify complexity and make abstract concepts concrete.
- Participatory: You’ll learn techniques to engage your people early and often.
- Actionable: This isn’t theory. It’s about what you’ll do next Monday.
The course blends presentations, small group discussions, and individual reflection with expert facilitation, so it’s not only engaging but immediately practical.
What You’ll Learn
By the end of this three-day virtual course, you’ll be able to:
✅ Apply the Plan, Do, Sustain framework to your own change initiatives
✅ Anticipate resistance and build strategies for overcoming it
✅ Engage leaders and stakeholders in meaningful ways
