Understanding the high cost of organizational change failure & gaining insights on actions that often lead to resistance to the change objective or change process used.
Organizational change has evolved from occasional initiatives into the continuous management of a Portfolio of Change. Yet most managers—and accountants—have received little formal training in change methodology, leading to high failure rates, particularly in large-scale change efforts. While consultants may be brought in, their involvement is typically short-term and costly, leaving internal teams to absorb the long-term impact of change missteps. For accountants, this often means watching from the sidelines as the financial costs of failed change and low productivity pile up.
This course provides critical insights into the root causes of change resistance and how to address them proactively. Designed specifically for accounting professionals, it empowers you to identify early signs of misalignment and equip change leaders with strategies to reduce resistance before it leads to failure. By bridging the gap between financial oversight and operational change, you'll add strategic value to your organization and help drive more effective outcomes.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
