Executive support is your secret to success

Effective executive sponsorship is the greatest contributor to successful change, according to all nine of Prosci’s benchmarking studies. Yet 50% of executives don’t understand their sponsorship roles and how to lead effective change.

Our Change Management Sponsor Briefing helps bridge this gap by clarifying the sponsor’s role during change, providing easy-to-use frameworks, and building a critical connection between effective change management and business results.

This program is available in both in-person and virtual instructor-led formats. Contact us to learn more.

Who should attend

Sponsor Briefings are great for organizational leaders who are leading change and need to understand their sponsor roles so they can deliver effective, meaningful change with measurable results.

Head of Coor Property

We have worked with Prosci best practices research from the very beginning. We have focused particularly on the role of the leader and communication of change in daily life. Tools like the Prosci ADKAR Model and storytelling about the change have contributed to show attention and support to individuals. That created a sense of security about the changes in the company.
