ACMP Midwest Informal CCMP Study Group
Register by March 8th
This informal, 60-minute guided study group is focused on the content of the ACMP Standard for Change Management and ACMP Change Management Code of Ethics, with the goal of supporting ACMP Midwest members on their journey to pass the CCMP exam. This study group is intended for ACMP Members who are seeking to take the CCMP exam and have begun their CCMP application. Please ensure you meet the application requirement prior to registering as we do have a limited number of spots for this study group.
Participants are expected to complete pre-work prior to weekly sessions to enable robust discussion and sharing during the study group. Sessions will include, but are not limited to, pre-work for each session (reading sections of the Standard), peer discussion of topics, quiz on pre-work reading, CCMP certified members sharing their approach to study, quizzes on previously studied materials, at home practice tests, and study group review of topics.
While weekly sessions will be recorded, please note that the best results will come from active participation for the entire 8-week period. Classes will begin Wednesday, March 13th at 4:30pm and will repeat on Wednesdays for the duration of the 8-week session.
As a result of each session in this series, participants will be able to develop personal study skills and techniques designed to help them prepare for and pass the CCMP certification exam. They will also meet other ACMP Midwest members and are encouraged to connect with each other for additional studying as needed.
The sessions will be facilitated by Jeff Bailey, PhD, PMP, CCMP. Jeff lives in downstate Illinois. He passed his CCMP in December 2020 and has shared some of his study materials with other certification candidates in the last year, which inspired him to step forward and help the Midwest Chapter. Jeff has been helping organizations change for 30 years. He has spent the last 15 years facilitating the change process generated by large information system implementations within a variety of public and private sector organizations throughout the US. Jeff also helped a variety of clients in the Chicagoland area as an independent consultant in the 1990s and early 2000s developing learning and performance support solutions. He earned his bachelor’s degree from Northeast Missouri State (now Truman State), his masters from Northern Illinois University, and his PhD from Benedictine University.
