The Change Academy web area will be an exciting and dynamic resource for sharing ideas.
Read interviews with those who’ve lived through change, take inspiration from our toolkits or get advice from some of the leading thinkers on the subject of change management.
This is your resource, so please tell us what you’d like to see on here as the area develops.
Take a look for a taste of what’s to come.

The MMU Change Academy has been created to provide anyone who is interested in transforming and improving their area of responsibility with ideas, tools and techniques and the support of colleagues.
There are numerous examples of where the services offered and the ways teams work have been improved across the University. The Change Academy aims to bring all of these successes together in one place, to celebrate them, and also so that others can learn from them.
The Change Academy will develop through the contributions and input from colleagues across the University and is owned by all of us and not just by my team.
Specifically the Change Academy will:
- Offer a web based resource area with links to a range of resources, including; examples of good practice, training materials, tools and techniques
- Provide a directory of expert volunteers/change agents who are prepared to mentor, advise and support those who want to implement change.
- Create a Change Network where people involved in change projects and initiatives can share ideas and practice.
- Provide coaching conversations with ‘change champions’ for those working with change issues.
- Provide a loose structure for change agents to meet occasionally in an unstructured environment to exchange ideas, experiences and good practice and offer support
I am confident that the Change Academy will develop into a fantastic resource and network for all of us.
