Focusing on the people-side of changing processes and technologies, organizational change management is one of the investments Cornell has made to empower university employees to navigate change successfully. 

Just as Cornell provides support systems to help employees through various workplace challenges, our change management resources help employeesyou build the skills and confidence to navigate transitions—even the difficult ones.

New Change Management Resources 

For the next two years, every Cornell employee can access Prosci organizational change management training in a series of courses offered by the Organizational Development and Effectiveness team at no cost to individuals or their teams. 

Prosci training is a solid introduction to the discipline or culture of change. Like other professional skills—such as conflict resolution or crisis communication—change management isn’t a one-time achievement but an ongoing capability you develop. Learning these foundational skills can restore a sense of agency when responsibilities, technologies, teams, and processes shift. It’s about building resilience and confidence so you can navigate change successfully. 

In addition to Prosci training, you can find additional resources to support your change management practice can be found on Cornell’s Organizational Change Management website. New courses, articles, and videos are regularly added and provide flexibility to build new skills exactly when you need them.  

Time and Practice Investment for Individuals 

Here’s why investing in change management matters for you and for Cornell: when you feel more confident navigating change, work becomes less stressful and more manageable. You’ll better understand what drives successful change, communicate and adapt with confidence, and develop a future-ready mindset. Teams with change-ready members collaborate better, adapt faster, and find creative solutions together. You spend less energy worrying about transitions and more energy doing meaningful work. By investing in everyone’s ability to handle change well, Cornell is investing in a workplace where we can all do our best work, even when things shift around us.
