Prosci's Train-the-Trainer program

“Companies around the world are building competency in change management to become more flexible in today’s marketplace. Prosci’s Train-the-Trainer program gives you the ability to provide these courses internally - and for a lower cost to your organization.” ~ Jeff Hiatt President and CEO, Prosci Inc.

How would you answer these questions?

Is your organization facing a higher velocity of change?
(bigger changes, happening more frequently and more important to your organization's success)
Does your organization have gaps in change management competencies?
Would you like to be in position to help build your organization’s change management capabilities?

Prosci’s Train-the-Trainer (TTT) program was developed and refined over the last year to position you to be successful delivering Prosci change management training in your organization. The goal of the TTT program is to enable you to facilitate an experience that transforms how someone sees themselves when it comes to managing the people side of change.

“Extremely well constructed, well designed, organized and delivered program. I have been through many TTT courses in my career; this one surpassed them all.” ~ Lynn Nelson

Who is the program designed for:

Prosci's TTT program is designed for employees in organizations who want to teach internal change management training programs. Qualified individuals should have experience working on change initiatives and supporting the people side of change. Experience delivering training or comfort with public speaking is essential. Completion of Prosci's 3-day certification program is a pre-requisite for the program.

“I had the honor of attending the inaugural TTT session in 2009. The new training facility at Prosci’s corporate office offers so much more than start-of-the-art technology to enhance learning. The setting is intimate: you get to know, interact with, and be supported by the other participants. And the opportunity to work closely with a Master Instructor is incredibly valuable, and not just from a 'textbook' perspective: they offer well-earned lessons learned about the nuances of teaching and learning you could not possibly get anywhere else."
~ Karl Hunrick, Prosci Certified Instructor

Goals of Prosci's TTT program:

Goal 1: To equip you to be a skilled instructor and facilitator of Prosci’s change management courses
Goal 2: To transfer the course outcomes into your hands such that you can create a transformational
experience for your students
Goal 3: To ground you in Prosci’s philosophy and principles to enable effective decision making and a
solid platform for dealing with unique situations

Delivered in an open enrollment format at Prosci's learning center in Loveland, Colorado or at your location for a dedicated session with your employees.

Structure of the program:

Prosci's Train-the-Trainer program lasts three and a half days and is delivered at Prosci's headquarters in Loveland, Colorado. The program can also be delivered onsite for groups from a particular organization. The course size is limited to five participants so there is plenty of one-on-one support and opportunities to practice your deliveries. Over the course of the three and a half days, you learn from Prosci's Master Instructors and experienced Training Managers who bring hundreds of class experiences to the table.

Topics in the three and a half days:

Philosophy and principles	Prosci training aims at creating experiences, not teaching materials. Learn about the underpinning of Prosci's change management training experiences, founded on adult learning theory and years of experience facilitating these programs. See how the course design drives better results and forms the foundation for "experiential learning".
Success factors	After years of teaching change management, we've identified certain factors must be present for a successful class. Learn about the five key program success factors: Effective sponsorship, Administrative contact, Project and workgroup definitions, Managing expectations and Environment. Cover several additional considerations including the class assistant and establishing a personal connection.
Preparing for a course	"By failing to prepare, you prepare to fail." ~ Benjamin Franklin Learn about numerous aspects of course preparation, for both you as a facilitator and for your students. Facilitator preparation topics include: student and class structure, logistics and materials, venue selection, room set-up, and personal calls. Student preparation topics include: pre-work, reading assignments, project summaries and assessments, and Change Management Pilot Pro 2010 access.
The big picture	The experience is longer lasting if you remember the "big picture". Learn how to maintain the "big picture" for your students and how it is reinforced throughout the training programs. Hear the allegory of the pilot and the sailor.
Story telling	*Story telling is a critical component of creating a lasting experience in a change management training session.* Learn the keys to effective story telling and prepare one of your own stories to use in the class.
Transitions and activities	Activities and transitions are just as important as the core content. Learn how to create "emotional memories" during the course of the training program and how to use activities and transitions to solidify learning.
Facilitator challenges	These programs aren't always easy to deliver, but here are some key challenges to think about. Learn some of the most common facilitator challenges and how you can address them, including time management, staying up-beat, incomplete projects, difficult questions and difficult students.
Course facilitation	The remainder of the three and a half day program is spent covering course facilitation. The training programs are broken down into "bundles" based on specific learning objectives and bytes of knowledge. Each "bundle" includes the following information in the facilitator's guide: Thumbnails of slides from the training deck for that "bundle" Key messages Timing (when during the program) Activities and exercises Handouts and materials Research data Common mistakes Throughout the course facilitation work, each TTT participant practices delivering numerous modules, highlighting the key messages and practicing transitions and story telling along the way. The majority of time spent in course facilitation focuses on the 3-day certification program, as the concepts and perspectives here also form the foundation for the other training programs.
