There are two ‘standards’ guides:

http://www.acmpglobal.org/?TheStandard

Most other ‘methodologies’ are graphic representations of the essence of both of these documents.

Just remember, tools don’t make the carpenter.

Good luck!

There are many methodologies out there and some depend on the type of change (large scale, transformational change or smaller scale, transitional change). Kotter's 8-step model is applicable for large scale change but Prosci's ADKAR is applicable for smaller, transitional changes.

Prosci offer a certification programme that seem to be popular.

Practical side, use this formula to convince the company and workforce:

D x M x P > R + C

Where

Dissatisfaction x Models x Process HAS TO BE GREATER THAN Resistance for the changes and Costs for the Change

if your change is not adhrent to this formula the risk of failure is high.

The ACMP change management certification is due to come out in 2016 and is expected to become the definitive standard. Universities can be another good option in the interim. I hold my Change Management Advanced Practitioner graduate certificate from Georgetown University: http://www.boozallen.com/consulting/manage...e-management-ap

In my experience, introducing change both in the culture of a organisation and in it''s business processes requires leadership, consistency in approach and requirements, patience and time.
