    • The Change Capability Community

    Change at work can feel isolating and full of uncertainty. We’re often expected to have answers, even when everything is new.

    This group is here to offer support, reassurance, and fresh thinking—because you’re not alone.  Sometimes, just admitting it’s hard can be a relief. By sharing our experiences and challenges, we crowd-source ideas and co-create solutions that work in the real world.​

    Together, we make change work better

    Our global community includes people who understand change from all angles—those applying neuroscience and behavioural psychology, delivering complex projects, building team capability, or leading change every day.​​

    Whether you’re a seasoned leader sharing lessons learned or new to change and asking the tough questions—we’re here to learn from one another and make change easier, more human, and more effective.

    How We Support Each Other

    Supporting each other is the essence of our Change Capability Community. We meet monthly online for debates and presentations, and we have a LinkedIn group to facilitate further discussions. Each year we run the Capability for Change global survey. This survey is useful for everyone involved in bettering how business change is managed. It gives them a platform to assess their progress and compare their progress against others.

    After many years at senior levels within other professional bodies, the Change Capability Community was founded by Melanie Franklin and Gillian Perry in 2020, to continue to build the change management profession. The costs of running the community are sponsored by their company, Capability for Change Limited.

    Change Capability Community Events

    We run a regular programme of free events – join as often as you like and choose the sessions that are most useful to you:​

    Virtual Group Coaching​

    Bring your real-life questions, challenges, or concerns and get live support from Melanie and Gillian. They’ll offer practical techniques, tools, and mindset shifts you can apply immediately to move forward with confidence.​

    Bulldozing the Blockers​

    Explore common blockers to change at work – from resistance to overwhelm. We share real stories, work in small groups to explore techniques, and leave with practical next steps you can try out in your own context.​

    Developing the Profession​

    A space to step back and look at the bigger picture – how do we raise the profile of change management, build its value, and stay future-ready in an AI-influenced world? These sessions explore emerging trends, key skills, and the evolving role of change professionals.​

    Monthly networking sessions

    Each event follows a similar pattern:

    1. Short presentation about a common issue in change – the presentation provides ideas, information and different perspectives
    2. Work together in breakout rooms with 4-5 others so you can get to know new people, share your thoughts and come up with ideas to share with the group
    3. Facilitated results session, where every breakout group reveals their thoughts and we build a consolidated picture of what we can do and how we can do it
    4. Follow up – we give you a link to the video and the write-up from the session

    What to expect

    • Community events are via a Teams call – you can book your place for the events here https://capabilityforchange.com/all-events/​
    • All our calls have a set of guidelines to recommend that people are collaborative, share ideas and respect confidentiality​
    • Learning from the sessions are developed as summaries and guidance notes, and to facilitate sharing no mentions are made of individuals by name or the organisation they work for

    This is what we ask of you

    • We are a community, so the events are not training courses or presentations, they are discussions and co-design sessions, so your contribution is vital – every perspective has value, whatever your level of experience or expertise​
    • Communities thrive when they grow, giving room to new voices and perspectives, so we need you to share details of the community with others in your network and encourage them to join our events
