CMOE has provided performance development solutions for over 35 years and has designed Strategic Business Planning workshops and learning experiences for:

Lead Change & Drive Organizational Innovation with HBS Online’s New Certificate Course

• 15 May 2024

Change is inevitable in business. Leaders must navigate turbulent market conditions, evolving industry trends, global competition, and digital transformation. To keep up, the typical company has implemented five organization-wide changes in the past three years, according to data by research and consulting firm Gartner —and nearly 75 percent expect that number to multiply in the next three years. Yet, half of change initiatives fail and only 34 percent are clear successes.

Harvard Business School Online’s new certificate program is designed to help experienced team leaders execute successful change initiatives. Leading Change and Organizational Renewal is a six-week online course that will equip you with practical frameworks, tools, and skills to anticipate and respond to external shifts, overcome barriers to change, and drive transformation.

You’ll learn how to build an “ambidextrous organization” that can manage today’s business and tomorrow’s innovation from the renowned faculty who coined the phrase: Michael Tushman, the Baker Foundation Professor and Paul R. Lawrence MBA Class of 1942 Professor of Business Administration at Harvard Business School, and Charles O’Reilly, the Frank E. Buck Professor of Management at the Stanford Graduate School of Business.

Throughout the course, they’ll introduce you to business experts from organizations of various sizes and industries, who will share real challenges they’ve faced implementing transformational change. You’ll meet leaders from Cloudflare, Lululemon, Havas, Deloitte, AGC Glass, Nedbank, and Enel. As you learn from their experiences, you’ll apply your knowledge through a change initiative within your own organization and leave with a detailed action plan for tackling it.

“This course will help innovators, mid-level managers, and experienced team leaders manage successful change initiatives,” says Senior Managing Director of HBS Online Simeen Mohsen. “Whether you work at an established market leader, a fast-growing midsize organization, or a dynamic emerging business, you’ll gain tools to shape your company’s culture and overcome the inertia that plagues established businesses.”

In Leading Change and Organizational Renewal, you’ll:

• Explore roadblocks to change and how to overcome them
• Analyze the root cause of your organization’s performance and opportunity gaps
• Build your organization's architecture by understanding the relationship between its hardware (structure, processes, and systems) and software (capabilities and culture)
• Discover how to set strategy, improve execution, and lead innovation streams
• Use power and politics to address resistance and maintain control during transitions
• Understand the link between personal and organizational renewal

Before, during, and after the course, you’ll have opportunities to engage with a global network of like-minded business professionals also trying to navigate change. You can ask questions and share experiences and expertise to accelerate your learning, broaden your perspective, and challenge your worldview.

Applications for this six-week certificate course will be accepted through September 16, 2024, and the program will begin on September 25, 2024. For more information or to apply, visit our Leading Change and Organizational Renewal page .

Business Consultant & Sales Coach

If you've been looking for a professional who is passionate about what they do and know their stuff really well, you've come to the right place.

After helping a retail store implement and execute sales techniques leading to over 30% increase in sales conversion, I joined Coca-Cola in 2017. While at Coke, I trained and coached Co-op students from the Edwards School of Business and started a sales group from scratch.

My journey to working with entrepreneurs and small business owners started in 2021 at a boot camp. An entrepreneurship institute invited me to teach a group of twenty entrepreneurs on business consulting, marketing, and project management during the first year of my executive MBA program. There, I discovered my passion for helping business owners succeed in business.

During my last consulting session at the boot camp, one of the entrepreneurs asked me if I could guide her to develop her business plan, as her potential business partners wanted to see what her business was all about. At the end of the boot camp, I decided to offer business plan consulting as a service for entrepreneurs and small business owners.

If you want to learn about business planning and anything sales-related, learn from one of the best. I am very flexible, too.

Student Reviews

Happy people who found the course extremely helpful and transformative

The content is very insightful and easy to understand for someone new to the area of business.

Great course

Attracting investment in key industries

Making Australians the beneficiaries of change

A Future Made in Australia is about creating new jobs and opportunities for every part of our country by maximising the economic and industrial benefits of the move to net zero and securing Australia’s place in a changing global economic and strategic landscape.

The Government’s $22.7 billion Future Made in Australia package will help facilitate the private sector investment required for Australia to be an indispensable part of the global economy.

For more information refer to the Future Made in Australia fact sheet [PDF 438KB]

Better deploying capital in priority areas

The Future Made in Australia package will realise Australia’s potential to become a renewable energy superpower, value‑add to our resources and strengthen economic security by better attracting and enabling investment in priority areas. The Government will create a Future Made in Australia Act and establish a National Interest Framework that identifies priority industries and ensures investments associated with them are responsible and targeted.

The Framework will have a focus on industries that contribute to the net zero transformation where Australia has a comparative advantage, and where Australia has national interest imperatives related to economic resilience and security.

Strengthening and streamlining approvals

This Budget provides a faster pathway to better decisions on environmental, energy, planning, cultural heritage and foreign investment approvals.

This includes:

• $134.2 million to better prioritise approvals for renewable energy projects of national significance, and support faster decisions on environment, cultural heritage and planning approvals.
• Working with the states and territories through the Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council to accelerate electricity grid connections.
• $20.7 million to improve engagement with communities impacted by the energy transition and accelerate the delivery of key energy projects.
• $15.7 million to strengthen scrutiny of high‑risk foreign investment proposals, enhance monitoring and enforcement activities and support faster decisions.

The Government will also encourage foreign investment by providing refunds of 75 per cent of application fees for unsuccessful competitive bids.

Promoting sustainable finance

The Government is committing $17.3 million to mobilise private sector investment in sustainable activities. This includes extending Australia’s sustainable finance taxonomy to the agriculture sector and developing a labelling regime for financial products marketed as sustainable.

The Government will also examine opportunities to improve data quality and provide $1.3 million to develop and issue guidance for best practice transition plans.

Making Australia a renewable energy superpower

Powering australia with cheaper, cleaner, more reliable energy.

Australia’s potential to produce abundant renewable energy is a powerful source of comparative advantage. To realise this, the Government is unlocking more than $65 billion of investment in renewable capacity through the Capacity Investment Scheme by 2030.

This Budget helps Australians benefit from cheaper, cleaner energy sooner by investing $27.7 million to integrate consumer energy resources like batteries and solar into the grid.

The New Vehicle Efficiency Standard will save Australians around $95 billion at the bowser by 2050 and reduce transport emissions.

Unlocking investment in net zero industries and jobs

It also delivers the $44.4 million Energy Industry Jobs Plan and $134.2 million for skills and employment support in key regions.

The Future Made in Australia package establishes time‑limited incentives to invest in new industries. The Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive will make Australia’s pipeline of hydrogen projects commercial sooner, at an estimated cost of $6.7 billion over the decade. This Budget also expands the Hydrogen Headstart program by $1.3 billion.

Boosting demand for Australia’s green exports

The Government is making it easier for businesses and trading partners to source low‑emissions products by building better markets and product standards for green products.

This Budget provides $32.2 million to fast‑track the initial phase of the Guarantee of Origin scheme, focused on renewable hydrogen, and bring forward the expansion of the scheme to accredit the emissions content of green metals and low‑carbon liquid fuels. The Government is also working closely with trading partners to identify opportunities to drive greater supply chain transparency and better market recognition of high environmental, social and governance standards in the critical minerals sector.

Realising the opportunities of the net zero transformation

Australia is committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and is developing six sector plans covering:

• electricity and energy
• agriculture and land
• the built environment.

This Budget continues investment in effective emissions abatement, including through $63.8 million to support emissions reduction efforts in the agriculture and land sector.

The Government is also investing $399 million to establish the Net Zero Economy Authority and support the economy‑wide net zero transformation. This Budget also invests an additional $48 million in reforms to the Australian Carbon Credit Unit scheme and $20.7 million to improve community engagement.

Strengthening resources and economic security

A more resilient Australia

Preparing for the future

The Government is preparing Australia for future droughts and heightened risk of natural disasters.

Disaster resilience and preparedness

The Government will provide $138.7 million to improve Australia’s response and resilience to natural hazards and disasters. Support includes: funding for the National Emergency Management Agency to supply communities with vital goods, equipment, and temporary accommodation during an emergency, aerial firefighting capability, and mental health support. This is in addition to the $11.4 billion previously committed for Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements for the states and territories.

The Government is establishing a pilot program for Australia’s Strategic Fleet. These vessels will improve Australia’s capacity to respond and support communities and supply chains during crises.

Preparing for drought and climate change

This Budget provides $174.6 million from the National Water Grid Fund to deliver new water infrastructure projects that will enhance water security, boost agricultural production and help drought proof regional communities.

The Government will provide $519.1 million from its Future Drought Fund to help farmers and rural communities manage the impacts of climate change and prepare for future droughts.

This investment will build the drought resilience of more farmers like Victorian cropper Ed Rickard.

The Fund supported Ed in developing a better farm business plan, which identified his need for weather stations and soil moisture probes. It also helped him implement a succession plan that ensured his farm’s long-term viability.
