Change Management, Workshops & Training

Change management training for regulatory projects covers stakeholder analysis methods, communication strategies for regulatory changes, resistance management, and hands-on exercises with real compliance scenarios. At ADVISORI, training is specifically tailored to financial services and covers current topics such as MaRisk updates, DORA implementation, and ESG requirements.

Depending on scope and objectives, our change management workshops range from one to three days. Compact awareness workshops for individual regulatory topics take one day, while comprehensive training programmes with practical exercises and certification require two to three days. All formats are available as in-house training or open events.

Studies show that up to 70% of transformation projects fail because the human factor is neglected. Without professional change management, there is a lack of employee buy-in, insufficient communication about new processes, and unaddressed resistance. In financial services regulatory projects, this leads to compliance risks and implementation delays.

For regulatory requirements, the ADKAR model (Awareness, Desire, Knowledge, Ability, Reinforcement), Kotter's 8-Step Model, and agile change approaches with regulatory sprints have proven most effective. ADVISORI combines these methods with industry-specific expertise on MaRisk, DORA, and other regulations to develop tailored change strategies.

The success of change management training is measured using several KPIs: employee adoption rate of new processes, reduction in compliance violations post-training, participant feedback and knowledge assessments, and the speed of regulatory change implementation. ADVISORI uses a combination of quantitative metrics and qualitative evaluations.

Change management in financial services operates under strict regulatory frameworks from authorities like BaFin, ECB, and EBA. Changes must be documented and auditable, training must be demonstrably delivered, and timelines are often dictated by regulatory deadlines. Topics such as DORA, MaRisk, or BCBS 239 require deep specialist knowledge that goes beyond generic change management.
