Which Path Is Right for You?

Change Innovator vs Change Maker

Not everyone works with change in the same way — and that’s a good thing.
Understanding where you sit today helps you choose the course that will build the right skills and confidence for your next step.

Change Innovator

You influence and improve change within your everyday role
Change Innovators are professionals who: 
  • Work in business-as-usual roles
  • Are regularly impacted by change (new systems, processes, restructures)
  • Spot inefficiencies, frustrations, or opportunities for improvement
  • Make small, meaningful changes alongside their core job
  • Want to feel confident navigating change — even when they’re not leading it


You might be a Change Innovator if you:
  • Want to improve how things work in your team
  • Have ideas but aren’t sure how to turn them into action
  • Want to build change skills without becoming a full-time change professional (yet)
  • Are early in your career and growing your skills matrix

Change Maker

You lead, design, and embed change as your profession
Change Makers are professionals who
  • Work full time in business change — or want to
  • Support or lead change initiatives, projects, or transformations
  • Are responsible for people adoption, engagement, and readiness
  • Want confidence, structure, and credibility in change roles
  • Aim to build a career in Change Management, Transformation, or Delivery


You might be a Change Maker if you:
  • Already work in change or are actively pursuing a change role
  • Want practical frameworks you can apply immediately
  • Need confidence leading stakeholders and change conversations
  • Want to be seen as a trusted change professional
