Learn how to navigate your people and projects through constant change within the IT sector

Nowhere is rapid and constant change more prevalent than in the information technology sector. The need for change management processes to support IT departments, teams and projects navigate through change is essential. This begins with the individual, and is why many organisations now expect their IT leaders to have formal change management qualifications.

Our change management training will benefit all types of IT roles, including system administrators, developers, network engineers, security specialists and more.

Learn real change management skills you can takeaway and apply immediately!

Many IT change management courses are bogged down with theory and hypothetical models. At Allegra we are committed to teaching real change skills, using real case studies, in a learning environment that is interactive and hands-on. Our goal is to give you practical ways of managing all types of change within your current or future IT roles, not to focus on delivering theory that you’ll never use.

More than just a training organisation, we actively provide consulting and recruitment services for some of Asia-Pacific’s largest organisations. Drawing from our extensive experience, we share insights gained from successfully executing numerous change initiatives within the IT sector.  These are broken down to demonstrate the ‘nuts and bolts’ of how change management is delivered, using real templates and tools that you can keep and use for your own projects.

Short 1-day course introducing Change Management to IT Professionals

This short workshop is the perfect starting point to learn about change management and how it fits into an IT environment. It is designed for people from all types of IT roles with little to no prior experience. Delivered either online virtually or in-person, you will learn...

The fundamentals of change management in IT

A brief rundown on what change management is, and how it is specifically applied within the context of information and technology systems, teams and projects.

Supporting an organisation’s people to adopt new technology

Practical ways to support your team members and the broader people within your organisation to adopt new technology. This may include things like new IT systems, programs, network configurations and other services. Whenever new technology is implemented into an organisation it comes with a significant amount of change and often resistance. Therefore it is important to properly plan, manage and support the transition to minimise disruption and loss of productivity.

Integrating change within broader IT project frameworks

Managing change is a very important component of all major IT project management frameworks like ITSM, Agile and ITIL. The methodologies we teach work in perfect unison with existing frameworks, significantly enhancing overall project success rates.

Handling change requests for software and tech services

We will demonstrate how change management practices can be specifically applied to the change request process for developing and maintaining software. This will significantly streamline the rollout of new features and changes, improving outcomes for developers, stakeholders and users.

How to make yourself and your team more resilient to change

Often in IT it's not the organisation or processes that need to change, rather the individuals. We will share an introduction to the psychology of change and ways to build resilience to this, both within your team and personally.

Examples of how change management can be used in IT

Using case studies on how we have helped IT departments tackle various changes within their organisation, we will share practical ways change management can be used across key areas.
