Building Better Buy‑In
Builds Better Change

Have you been asked to help plan, lead, or execute a change project and are wondering if you're set up for success?

Change initiatives require that people change what they do, how they do it, or how they identify with their work for it to succeed. You need them to be invested.

If your upcoming project has you feeling overwhelmed, we’ll help you build a clear roadmap that will get you better buy‑in for better results.

The BUILD BETTER BUY‑IN course is a self-paced course designed to help anyone collaborating on a project that requires change create better buy‑in and collaboration using our change roadmap process.

You'll be held accountable for the project's success, but all you see is...

  • Active and vocal resistance to change
  • Change fatigue / burnout / exhaustion 
  • False agreement  - just going along but not investing in or supporting the work
  • Reduced team performance due to  low psychological safety in teams
  • Lack of adoption of change initiatives
  • Territorial teams - information is trapped in silos

Change always seems to come out of nowhere and there’s
never a clear path forward that everyone can get on board with.

 

We've helped teams of all shapes and sizes save HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of dollars by helping them successfully implement change initiatives, such as: 

  • Implementing or switching project management tools or other technology
  • Reorganizing staff or departments to meet new goals
  • Redesigning the organization’s website
  • Updating the organization's strategic vision
  • Aligning sales and marketing teams
  • Changing how teams run meetings, communicate, and collaborate

The Build Better Buy‑In Course

Change. But without the mess and stress.

It’s like that gotta-have-it 2pm cup of coffee that takes you from played out to productive powerhouse. Ditch the overwhelm for a cuppa that puts you back in the game with a clear plan and the confidence you need to carry it out successfully.

Love a quick win? We do too. 

Create your change roadmap and specific, strategic tasks so you'll be ready to start implementing after module 1! Leverage our extensive change facilitation experience in the video sessions to avoid classic change pitfalls and fine-tune your customized action plans.

Everything you need to know to get your next change project on a path to success.

faq

Who is this course for?

Mid-career to senior leaders who have "been around the block" and have worked in enough organizations to understand that the problems of poor leadership directly translate to how well the work gets done, how engaged employees are, and overall workplace satisfaction. 

More specifically, anyone who has been tasked with leading or being accountable for a new way of working, and is feeling overwhelmed or out of their depth in terms of planning the change and executing it successfully. The course is especially helpful for projects were there isn’t a dedicated change management person assigned to help steer the project outcomes.

Who is this course NOT for

This is not an advanced change management course. If you’re already comfortable with change management models such as Proci or CCMP, or have dedicated change management resources staff to the change initiative, you’re probably covered. 

WHAT WILL I LEARN IN THIS COURSE?

You’ll learn a step-by-step process for securing support and buy‑in for an upcoming project. We’ll cover basic project scoping, meeting facilitation, communication strategies, and at the end of the course you’ll have a clear roadmap for your project showing how likely your team is to successfully make this change.

CAN I SUCCESSFULLY DO THIS ON MY OWN?

You can! Anyone connected to the change can apply these skills to improve a change project they're working on. To lead a full change initiative according to our roadmap, you’ll need several skillsets working together: social capital to connect with leadership, project management, communications and subject matter expertise about the specific change. Depending on the change you’re leading and your spot in the organization, you may have everything you need at your fingertips, while others may need to delegate or outsource some functions. The course sets you up to assemble the right team, ask for the right resources, and find a clear path to success.

Can my Team member join? What is the cost for that?

Sure! We know change works better when there are more heads involved. You can invite up to two additional people from your company (same email domain) to the training calls and Q&A sessions. They can also get access to the course platform as well; just email us at info@changefatigue.com with their information and we’ll get them set up.

How long does the course take to complete?

The video lessons take roughly 15 minutes to watch. Then, you should spend another 30 or so minutes on your own reviewing the templates and gathering inputs. From there you’re ready to take it to your team and collaborate. 

How long will it take to see results?

Start implementing after the 1st module. The course begins with an overview of the change process and a comprehensive end-to-end checklist. You can get started right away, with our expert support as you put it into practice.

What if our team needs additional support?

If your team needs some outside reinforcement after the course is done, we offer custom workshops, quick “Power Up” sessions to get teams unstuck, and ongoing change management support (where we facilitate working sessions, convince leaders, and take on projects you don’t have capacity to complete.) We can design a solution that meets your team’s specific needs.
