About This Course

McKinsey Corporation estimates that 70% of organizational change programs fail. And that’s after they’ve hired groups like McKinsey, paid them a million dollars, invested 12 months, and stressed themselves out.

It’s the “master plan approach,” and it’s broken. There has to be another way.

In my PhD on systemic change, I discovered an alternative approach. It did not exist in any book, but I saw it being practiced by some of the world's best companies. Instead of a master plan, it followed the principles of systems thinking and strategic leverage points:

  • Don’t go big — go small
  • Don’t go high-risk — go low-risk
  • Don’t go expensive — go cheap

Welcome to Leverage: a low-cost, low-stress, low-risk approach to organizational change.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

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.
