Change initiatives stall when teams can’t agree on interpretation

Without a central reference point, different business units apply IFRS 17 rules inconsistently, leading to rework, delayed sign-offs, and fragmented reporting. The cost isn't just time, it's erosion of trust in the change function.
Who this is for
Senior change professionals in highly regulated financial services firms implementing IFRS 17, where cross-departmental coordination determines project success
Who this is not for
Individuals seeking high-level overviews of IFRS 17 principles or entry-level project management techniques

If nothing changes
Continued fragmentation in IFRS 17 implementation increases audit risk, executive scrutiny, and rework costs while limiting your ability to influence beyond immediate scope.
How this compares to the alternatives
Generic IFRS 17 training covers principles but lacks change leadership focus. Public workshops offer limited interaction. This course provides specific, actionable methods for leading cross-functional alignment, not just understanding the standard, but driving its execution.
