Change Management template

This change management tool helps you prepare individual job assessments, identify possible concerns and objections to your proposals, and then prepare a communications plan, a change management plan, and other approaches to help people embrace change.

Any experienced Project Manager will agree that the hardest part of any process improvement project is "the people stuff".
It's one thing to come up with great ideas for "improvement" -
and it's another to get people to buy into it.

Training Program Design Spec

This is the training program template to use when you want to  maximize the probability of positive behavior changes by thoroughly preparing a program. 

A program might consist of multiple training sessions - each with their own objectives and planning requirements, in addition to the objectives of the overarching training program.

If you're going to pull all of those people away from doing value-added work for all of that away-from-work time - is it possible to over-prepare your trainers?

It is also a bit of a "Swiss army tool" that can be put to many creative uses.
