Change Management The 7 R's

Change Management - The 7 R's

An organisation has to be accredited by APMG in order to deliver The Change Management certification. Having passed both the Foundation and Practitioner exams candidates will have acquired the knowledge needed to receive CMI’s ACM (Foundation) accreditation. They offer successful candidates a simpler route to personal accreditation, with only the experience element to complete.

The impact of a change is governed by the Change Advisory Board (CAB) which analyses the 7 R’s involved in the Change process. These 7 R’s include:

• Requestor – Who raised the change?
• Reason – What is the reason for the change?
• Relationship – What is the relationship between this change and other requested change?
• Responsible – Who is responsible for the build, test and implementation of the change?
• Resources – What resources are required to deliver the change?
• Return – What is the return (outcome) required from the change?
• Risks -What are the risks associated with the change?
