Welcome to the Change Management Institute

The Change Management Institute (CMI) is an independent not-for-profit organisation set up to promote and develop the practice of change management internationally.

Change Management Research

Organisational Change Management Maturity Model

The CMI in partnership with Carbon Group Change Consulting are developing an Organisational Change Management maturity model, to enable us to assess the overall capability of the organisation for managing change. If you would like to help in this research and gain access to the resulting White Paper, please access the survey here. The survey is open until 15 December 2011 and will take approximately 30 minutes and some thought and concentration!

Challenge of Change Survey

Towards the end of 2009 we undertook some research in partnership with Executives Online recruitment company. One of the staggering findings was that 87% of those surveyed thought that the phrase "change management" was not clearly understood. However, when given a definition, 90% agreed with the definition. It seems there is more clarity than we think! Click here to see a copy of the report.

University research

There are a number of areas of research in the field of Change Management, if you would like to participate, please access our research page here.

CMI Conferences

The 2011 two-day Australian conference was held in Sydney (25 - 26 August) and focused on how Change Managers "Create, Nurture and Renew Change". The initial feedback was fantastic and we thank all those that contributed to make this such an outstanding event! Post conference materials and survey have now been sent to delegates, speakers and sponsors.

Sadly due to the economic climate in Europe, our UK conference for 2011, was cancelled. The UK chapter are now looking at alternative options for events and education to meet this changing environment.
