An applied-learning experience where organizational change management professionals learn how to use artificial intelligence (AI) to strengthen their practice and complete real-world change work. Participants develop practical capabilities through hands-on exercises, guided instruction, and team-based problem solving—and earn the Certification of Applied AI Change Management™. 

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming how organizations communicate, adapt, learn, and lead. Change-management professionals are increasingly expected to navigate AI-enabled transformation, yet most have not been taught how to apply AI directly to organizational change work.

The AI Change Impact Lab™ is a structured, immersive, experiential program designed to help change professionals develop the applied capability they need. Through guided instruction, challenge-based activities, practical exploration, mentoring, and collaborative teamwork, participants learn how to interact with AI by doing change-management work with it—not by passively consuming content.

At the completion of the program, participants earn the Certification of Applied AI Change Management™, validating their ability to apply AI in organizational change-management contexts.

This program is designed for:

• Organizational change-management professionals
