Why Choose This Course
The BCS Business Change Foundation course introduces the business change lifecycle and the practical techniques needed to plan, design and implement organisational change across people, processes, information and technology. It aligns to the current BCS Foundation Certificate in Digital Business Change syllabus, which covers aligning change with external and internal business influences, establishing and validating change requirements, developing business cases, delivery lifecycles including Agile, implementation readiness, and benefits realisation.
Instructor-led training focuses on investigation and modelling techniques, stakeholder engagement, cultural considerations, and enterprise architecture integration, helping learners apply exam-aligned content to real scenarios without relying on a single methodology. This course is relevant for business analysts, business managers, project managers and business change managers involved in change initiatives that aim to deliver measurable business benefit. It supports the BCS International Diploma in Business Analysis as one of the knowledge-based pathway options.
By the end of the course, you will understand how to analyse organisational readiness, define and manage change requirements aligned to user-centred principles and accessibility, select appropriate delivery lifecycles, and plan for adoption, feedback and benefits tracking. A certificate of course attendance is included.
