When we first embarked on the CMI journey, we conducted a series of focus groups with practitioners and business users. The message came through loud and clear that accreditation was seen as a major benefit from a professional body. The main issue identified by business users in our more recent research is that they find it hard to know what to look for in a Change Manager as the variety of CVs they receive when recruiting is enormous.
Feedback from experienced Change Managers indicates frustration with comments like "everyone thinks they are a Change Manager". Practitioners felt that the profession is being discredited by a lack of definition and poor quality practitioners.
We researched over 30 similar organisations, in Australia and overseas, and consulted a range of practitioners, academics and business users during the development of our accreditation model.
The CMI accreditation model has two elements:
The CMI Accreditation stream worked with a group of practitioners, business users and academics to develop the Change Practitioner Competency Model. The model was then open for a 6 month period of public review. It was launched in early 2008 and has been welcomed by practitioners and their managers as an independent benchmark of change management practitioner performance.

Feel free to send your questions and feedback on the model to: info@change-management-institute.com
It's really easy. The model was designed with practical use in mind and is in plain English. The content is intended to guide your thinking on the demonstration of specific behaviours i.e it is an assessment of what you 'do' rather than what you 'know'.
This model is free and accessible to anyone with an interest in change management. All we ask is that you protect the integrity of the model and credit CMI as the copyright owner.
CMI Accreditation is the process and standard by which the independent not-for-profit professional body independently assesses and recognises good change management practitioners. The accreditation is recognised by recruiters and employers as a valuable indicator of your ability to perform well in a change
management role.
- It will put you ahead of the pack: you will be recognised and rewarded as a great change management practitioner.
- Your validation is awarded by an independent professional body against a well established independent standard.
- It is an opportunity for you to review your own performance, learn from your experience and focus on your development
CMI Members can apply online now. (If you're not a member yet this could be your reason to join up.) Log into the member area of this website and scroll down to "How to apply for Accreditation" or "My Accreditation" to get started. Take a look at the CMI Change Management Practitioner Competency Model. That's the standard you'll need to meet.
The assessment process has two parts:
1. First you'll be asked to provide written evidence of the behaviours in the Change Management Practitioner Competency Model. The cost for Part 1 is AU$1095
2. When you successfully complete Part 1 you will attend a face-to-face assessment. This involves one or more interviews and the presentation of a case study. The cost for Part 2 is AU$1495
Each ACM assessment includes reference checks conducted by an external organisation, a day and a half of Assessor time and administrative costs associated with managing the process. CMI is a not-for-profit organisation and balances the need to deliver and sustain high accreditation standards with a cost that is reasonable to members; therefore CMI operates the scheme at break-even.

Practitioners have told us that they would like to a Strategic Practitioner model to benchmark the more senior role and a Master Practitioner accreditation to recognise people who have made a significant contribution to the change management profession. We have also spoken to business users about a company accreditation to be awarded to companies with a successful track record in implementing change. We intend to develop these following successful implementation and embedding of the ACM in 2010.
