New change management workshops draw on the methodology in Dr. Christie Cooper’s award-winning book, Guiding Change.
SAN JOSE, CA, UNITED STATES, October 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — The gap between executive strategy and frontline execution often determines whether an organizational shift succeeds or sputters. Cooper Consulting Group has stepped into that gap with a new change management training program designed specifically for teams. The change management workshops target intact teams, leadership teams, and cross-functional groups navigating everything from reorganizations and mergers to culture shifts and strategic pivots.
The program is built around the methodology Dr. Christie Cooper laid out in her book, Guiding Change: How to Artfully Inspire, Influence, and Drive Lasting Change, which took home a 2025 North American Book Awards gold medal in business leadership and management.

Why change management training should target teams
Change is rarely an individual event. People process it in groups. They compare notes, read the room, and take cues from teammates and direct managers. When a team is unclear or divided, the change stalls. When a team is aligned and resilient, the change gains momentum.
“Organizations that manage change well do not just move faster. They protect trust, keep their best people, and build the muscle memory that makes the next change easier,” said Dr. Christie Cooper, founder and president of Cooper Consulting Group.
Cooper Consulting Group’s change management workshops help teams understand their own reactions to change, communicate through uncertainty, and commit to behaviors that support the new direction.
What the change management workshops cover
The change management training follows the Guiding Change framework and uses proven assessments to accelerate team understanding. Modules include mapping the human side of change, communicating through uncertainty, building team resilience and hardiness, aligning behavior with the new direction, and sustaining momentum after launch.
Participants may complete assessments such as MBTI, DiSC, Emotional Intelligence (EQ), the Hardiness Resilience Gauge (HRG), and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI).
Who should attend change management training
The workshops are designed for leadership teams, departments in reorganization, cross-functional teams launching initiatives, and organizations integrating after mergers or acquisitions. They also support teams returning to the office or shifting to hybrid work.
Every change management workshop is customized. Formats range from a half-day intensive to a full-day session, a multi-session series, or a consulting engagement across multiple teams.

**Why it matters:** As organizations increasingly face rapid shifts in structure and strategy, training that focuses on team-level alignment rather than just executive directives could be the difference between a smooth transition and a costly disruption. This program suggests a growing recognition that change management is as much about group psychology as it is about process.
