The #1 pathway to succeed in change and transformation priorities
The Change Success Pathway consists of two one-day certifications, delivered over two days. Together, they equip leaders to first build the conditions for change, and then apply a practical, repeatable structure to embed change across real organisational priorities.
Most change priorities fail because readiness is skipped and momentum is forced.
In this 2 Day Certification Pathway you will learn how to
Diagnose and prepare for change before it fails
Accurately assess change readiness before rollout, or reset it during active change, so resistance is anticipated rather than discovered too late.
Apply a disciplined structure that prevents change fatigue
Use a structured transformation blueprint to maintain clarity, reduce implementation complexity, and prevent change fatigue as priorities evolve.
Lead systemic change with confidence and control
Integrate leadership and management disciplines to drive coherent, system-wide change with clarity, credibility, and sustained momentum.
Day 1 | Transformational Leadership 101
A Foundational Certified Course in Change Readiness
Most organisational change does not fail because the strategy is wrong. It fails because readiness was never created. Buy-in is not enough. People can intellectually agree with change and still resist it in practice. They may comply publicly while privately prioritising something else. Change is filtered through competing priorities, perceived risk, relational safety and the internal story people are telling themselves. If those stories are shaped by uncertainty or threat, resistance becomes predictable.

Create the conditions where change actually succeeds.
Move beyond surface-level buy-in by learning how to shape the environmental conditions that determine whether change embeds, accelerates, or quietly fails.
See what is really undermining your change initiatives.
Learn how to diagnose the organisational environment and identify competing priorities, belief systems, and pressure points that sabotage change before rollout even begins..
Turn resistance into ownership.
Understand how beliefs drive behaviour and strengthen the relational conditions that replace forced buy-in with genuine ownership of change.
Day 2 | Introduction to The SIMPLE. Transformation Method™
A Foundational Certified Course in Creating Change Readiness
Whilst change readiness is essential, without alignment this leads to change stalling. Implementation becomes fragmented, inconsistent, or reactive under pressure.
Whilst change readiness is essential, without alignment this leads to change stalling. Implementation becomes fragmented, inconsistent, or reactive under pressure.
Move from readiness to disciplined execution.
Learn how to translate change intent into clear structure, sequencing, and decision-making, so change does not stall once implementation begins.
Embed change without complexity or fatigue.
Apply a disciplined transformation framework that prevents implementation overload, reduces change fatigue, and enables teams to sustain performance over time.
Lead complex change with clarity and control.
Align leadership behaviour with systemic outcomes, maintaining clarity and traction as transformation complexity increases: Short, medium, or long term.
Leaders are training in SIMPLE. Certifications across Aotearoa New Zealand
The most transformational learning was the formula for creating the
environment for change to succeed.
— Ali Wilkinson Associate Director | OD UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO
The conditions for success were so simple and so easy to understand. Great learning experience and in a great format.
— Emma Elliot, Chief Financial Officer | WEL Networks
This was a great eye opener. It helped me see our cultural blind spots and made it obvious on what I had to focus on as a leader to guide my team.
— Steffan Hudson, Director | Holloway Hudson Burgess
Trusted by leaders across Aotearoa, this pathway brings together transformational leadership and transformational management
