ABSTRACT

Years ago, I was trained and certified as a Black Belt. My lead instructor was a man by the name of Dr. A. Blanton Godfrey. Blan has spent a lifetime improving the world, through his roles in industry and in academia. During my time learning from Blan, he talked extensively about the need for change management, but the training and certification program at that time did not include training in organizational change management (OCM) tools. Blan later rectified this situation.
