Welcome to the Change Management Institute

The Change Management Institute (CMI) is an independent, international, not-for-profit organisation set up to promote and develop the practice of change management. The CMI was established in October 2004 and is committed to meeting the professional development needs of change managers through the provision of networking, education and accreditation.

Organisational Change Management Maturity Model

The CMI in partnership with Carbon Group Change Consulting has developed an Organisational Change Maturity Model, to enable us to assess the overall capability of the organisation for managing change and a pathway to Change Agility. A White Paper documenting the results of our latest survey which seeks to understand the current capability levels of an number of global organisations is now available.

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!

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! We will not be running a 2012 conference, however we will be developing a series of education opportunities to facilitate national and international gatherings.
