“CaLS provided a tailored programme for Business change, training, and adoption as we navigated a complex transformation that required true people alignment. Bringing them in was an absolute relief the go live went seamlessly, and teams are still referencing and adhering to what good looks like, proudly crediting CaLS for setting that standard.”

Change Management, AI Training and the Learning Academy.
11
Courses
For every level, from first steps to leaders.
16
Sectors
From banking and energy to legal and retail.
Where we are called in
Recognise one of these, or a mix of most of them? We have got you.
A regulatory, compliance, statutory or legal change
New rules mean new processes, and everyone has to follow them by a fixed date.
A technology change
A new system or platform is going in, and people need to be ready to use it from day one.
Our people and culture
A restructure, merger or new ways of working need people on board, without losing good people.
The change landed, but nobody adopted it
It rolled out, but there is no appetite for it. People have gone back to the old way of working, and the training did not stick.
A process or operating model change
Processes are being redesigned or automated, and teams need to understand and own the new way of working.
Projects are colliding
Several changes are landing on the same teams at the same time, and the business cannot absorb them.
People need new skills
A new way of working needs new skills, and one-off training has not stuck.
AI is arriving
Teams are already using AI. You want people to use it safely and well, and to have the records to show it.
You want change skills in-house
You would rather build your own practitioners, sponsors and champions than rely on outside help.
Our solutions
Start with the one that fits today. Many clients use all three over time.
Change Management
We own the change plan and its delivery. You make the decisions. We make them land.
- We run the changeThe plan, the people side and the hands-on work, right through to go-live.
- Experienced hands for hireNeed a change manager for a while? We can join your team for a fixed piece of work or by the day.

The UPELO™ method
We work with the established change methods, including ADKAR, Kotter and Lewin.
We have our own tried and tested change methodology that you may choose to use for your change, as it comes with an extensive toolkit, UPELO™, and covers every touchpoint of a change. Five steps, whatever the size of the change.
The UPELO™ road
Five steps from first conversation to a change that holds
U
Understand
Find out what is changing, who it affects and how they feel about it. Then agree why it matters and how to approach it.
P
Plan
Decide how the change will work and plan it, with your decision makers agreeing each step.
E
Equip
Get people ready. Talk to them early, find colleagues who will champion the change, and train everyone before go-live.
L
Launch
Be there on the day and after it, with hands-on help while the change settles in.
O
Own
Hand over the plans and decisions, so your own teams run the new way with confidence.
Free tools to start with
Free, and quick to use.
Let's explore how we can help.
Talk to usChange Management
Plans fail when people are not ready.We plan and deliver.
We own the change plan and its delivery. Experienced change managers who take charge of the work, from the first assessment to handing it over. You make the decisions. We make them land.
Where we are called in
Which of these sounds familiar? Most clients recognise more than one.
A big change is coming
A new system or a major shake-up, and you want people ready on day one.
Projects are colliding
Several changes are landing on the same teams in the same month.
A merger or restructure
Two ways of working need to come together without losing good people.
Adoption is lagging
The new system is live, but people are not using it, or are working around it.
A regulatory, compliance, statutory or legal change
New rules mean new processes, and everyone has to follow them by a fixed date.
AI is arriving fast
Tools are spreading faster than people are ready to use them well.
Four ways we work with you
Use us for one job or for the whole change. Either way, we start by listening.
Run the change for you
Experienced people who take charge of the plan and see it through to go-live.
- Interim change managersExperienced, hands-on change managers who join your team for as long as you need them, for a day rate or a fixed piece of work.
- The whole change, start to finishWe write your change plan, run it with you, and see it through to go-live and handover.
Work out what is changing
A clear picture of what is changing, and who it will affect.
- Joining up your projectsWe show where projects overlap or depend on each other, and set up simple decisions so clashes are spotted early.
- How work gets done, now and afterWe map how things work today and how they should work after the change, and show where automation will really help.
Find out how your people feel
Know how ready people are, and test ideas before you commit to them.
- A readiness checkA short, honest look at how your people feel about the change. You get a plain-English report, a map of which teams need the most help, and what to do first.
- Try it on a small group firstA four to eight week trial with one group, compared with another, so you see what works before you roll it out to everyone.
Hand over, so it lasts
Make sure the people who will run things day to day are ready, including for any new AI tools.
- Handing over to your teamThe people who run things afterwards get the guides, skills and support they need, so the change lasts once we have left.
- Bringing in AI toolsWe help you choose, plan and roll out AI tools, with a clear policy on using them responsibly, backed by our AI training.

The UPELO™ method
When you ask us to deliver change, we know and use the established change methods, including ADKAR, Kotter and Lewin and others, and apply whichever fits your organisation. Alongside them we have our own, the UPELO™ method, which covers every touchpoint of a change, from first understanding to handover.
Understand, Plan, Equip, Launch, Own. Five steps, whatever the size of the change, and fifteen numbered deliverables across them. Which ones you get depends on the size of the change: a small change might use five. Every deliverable ends with the decision it supports, who owns it and by when. You can see the standard in our sample change plans on the Insights page.

UPELO™ is our own method, owned by Change & Learning Solutions Ltd, and an application to register it as a trade mark has been made. ADKAR is a trade mark of Prosci Inc. Kotter and Lewin are the work of their authors. We name these methods only to describe what our practitioners know and use. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by or certified by their owners, and our courses are not Prosci certifications.
Add-on
Training on the new ways of working
If your change needs people trained, we can provide the trainers. It works whether the technology is custom-built or a well-known platform.
01
Trainers for your change
Experienced trainers who teach people the new way of working, on top of your Change Management package.
02
Custom or well-known systems
Built-in-house or bought off the shelf, we train on the system your people will actually use.
03
Built around your processes
Training that follows your processes and roles, so people learn the work and not only the screens.
Add-on
Adoption: measure the change, feed success
Going live is not the finish line. We check whether people are really using the new way, and tell you what is working and what needs a nudge.
01
Start
Agree the goals, who is affected, the success measures and a baseline before anything changes.
02
Experiment
Try it with a first group, measure what happens, and fix what you learn before you widen it.
03
Scale
Roll out in waves, check use against your measures, and tell you what to fix as you go.
Built on a start, experiment and scale approach, in the spirit of the Microsoft service adoption framework. It is an add-on to Change Management.

The pathway
From first steps to confident, everyday use
AI only pays off when people know how to use it well. We start with everyone, then build confidence where it matters most: the people who use AI every day, and the leaders who steer it. Along the way you keep a simple record of who has been trained, so progress is easy to see and easy to share.
1
Everyone
Essentials: every employee learns what AI is, how to use it safely and fairly, and what to do when something goes wrong.
2Daily users
Practice Lab and Role Packs: people practise on their own tasks, with kits for People, Operations, Customer, Finance and Change teams.
3Leaders
A half day on setting direction, who is responsible, keeping a person in charge of AI decisions, and what proof to keep.
4
Training record
A simple record of who needs which training, who has done it and when, with a named owner and a review date. We update it when tools or roles change.
AI skills people can trust
From a good question to a result you can trust
The READY method
Five steps to a good question
READY is our five-step checklist for asking an AI tool a good question, and it is taught only in our AI courses.
RRoleTell the AI who to be
EExplainGive it the background
AAimSay exactly what you want
DDo's and don'tsSet the limits
YYour reviewCheck the answer and ask it to improve
Example “Act as an experienced HR adviser (R). We are launching a new leave process (E). Write a 120-word message explaining what changes (A). Plain English, no jargon (D). Then tell me what you assumed (Y).”

Learning that lasts
Skills grow one step at a time
Why learn with us
Taught live
Real scenarios and practice with a trainer, not slides to scroll through.
Feedback on your own work
Up to 16 learners per trainer, so every person gets feedback on their own work.
Practical tasks, with feedback
Each course ends with a task you complete, such as a plan or a short quiz. It is reviewed and you get feedback.
Skills that stay
Toolkits you keep and follow-up clinics, so what you learn is still used months later.
Learn by doing
Our courses are taught live, in groups where people practise on real scenarios and ask questions as they go. You leave with tools you can use the next day.
How our courses run
In-house cohort
A private cohort for your people, online or at your site.
Built for larger groups
We run a course when a larger group in your organisation wants it. Live courses are not run for small numbers or individuals. Self-paced courses for individuals are on the way.
Self-paced e-learning
Starting with AI Training: Essentials, supplied to your organisation. Ask about e-learning.
Dates
There are no fixed public dates. Every course runs when a larger group in your organisation asks for it, and is scheduled around what you need. Tell us who it is for and how many people, and we will agree dates and a price with you.
On your own, not part of a company? Self-paced, on-demand courses for individuals are on the way. Tell us you are interested.

What we believe
- Change is a human event with a technical trigger.
- A change document should help someone decide something.
- Go-live is the start of adoption, not the end of the work.
- People should be ready before they are told to be.
- The skills should stay when we leave.
How to work with us
Work with us your way
Change Management
We plan and deliver the change as a package. Checking that the change sticks is an optional extra: we agree how to measure it, then keep watching after go-live.

Questions we are asked
What are culture and readiness audits?
A short, structured check of how ready your people really are. Over two to four weeks we use interviews, quick surveys and workshops, then give you a plain-English report, a team-by-team heat map and a short list of what to do first.
What is a Readiness Pilot?
A short trial in which one group receives our training and support now and a similar group receives it later. We measure the same things for both over four to eight weeks, so you see what the programme delivers before you scale. Small groups give an indication, not statistical proof.
Can the training be tailored to our organisation?
Yes. We do not sell or supply software. We train people on the tools your organisation has already approved, such as Microsoft 365 Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, using your policy and real examples. If you are also working with us on the change, we can help you choose and roll out those tools.
How big are the groups?
It depends on what is being trained, so we agree it with you. Online sessions on Teams or Zoom can reach a larger audience, and in-person sessions can take up to 25 people. Hands-on workshops work best in smaller groups.
Which change methods do your practitioners use?
They are experienced in the established change methods, including ADKAR, Kotter and Lewin, and adapt to your culture rather than forcing one model.
Do you work outside the UK?
Yes. The programmes share one core, adjusted for the UK, the EU, the USA, the Gulf and Africa, and we check the local rules for each country.

Why take this course
Most people are already using AI, with or without guidance. Essentials gives everyone the same basics and good habits, and gives your organisation a record of it.
What you will be able to do
To give every employee the basic knowledge and habits to use AI safely and sensibly, with a record your organisation can show. By the end, you will be able to:
- Explain in their own words what AI tools do and where they go wrong.
- Spot tasks in their role where AI could help and where it should not be used.
- Decide what information must never go into an AI tool, and check output before using it.
- Recognise bias and know when a person must decide.
- Write a clear request using the READY method.
- Report problems and concerns with confidence.

Otherwise, our total liability for any claim relating to a service is limited to the fees you paid for that service.

Change Management: Change Essentials
From no experience to running real change, in three days.
Change ManagementNew to change
Length3 days, about 19 hours
FormatLive online or on site
Group sizeUp to 16 per trainer
LevelNew to change
Why take this course
Many organisations have no change team and no heavy method, and still need change to go well. This course gives people with no experience a practical, light toolkit they can use straight away, without a big team or a big process.
What you will be able to do
To take someone from no experience to planning and supporting a real change with a simple, light toolkit. It is a practical practitioner course built for organisations that are new to change management, so the approach is deliberately light. It is our own method and is not a Prosci course. By the end, you will be able to:
- Explain why change succeeds or fails, and what changes for people.
- Use the UPELO™ method (Understand, Plan, Equip, Launch, Own) to plan and run a change from first conversation to handover.
- Assess the impact of a change and map who is affected.
- Build a one-page change plan, including communications, training and support.
- Run a readiness check and recommend go, hold or adjust.
- Recruit and support champions, and handle resistance respectfully.
- Set simple measures for whether people are using the new way, and plan a proper handover.
- Tailor a light approach for an organisation that is new to change management.
What you will cover
- 1
Why change succeeds or fails
Day 1. The people side of change, what changes for individuals and for the organisation, the role of a change practitioner, and a plain-English tour of established models (ADKAR, Kotter, Lewin) and how they relate to UPELO™.
- 2
Our UPELO™ method and your starting point
Day 1. Understand, Plan, Equip, Launch, Own, and how to scale it to the size of the change. Judge how mature your organisation is at change and choose a light or fuller approach.
- 3
Understand
Day 1 to 2. The case for change, impact assessment, stakeholder analysis and mapping, and the first view of risks and dependencies.
- 4
Plan
Day 2. Objectives and success measures, the sponsor roadmap, communications plan, change roadmap and the start of your one-page change plan.
- 5
Equip
Day 2 to 3. Training needs and support, building and using a champions network, and preparing managers to lead their teams through the change.
- 6
Launch
Day 3. Readiness check and a go, hold or adjust recommendation, running the launch, and handling resistance respectfully.
- 7
Own
Day 3. Adoption measures, tracking benefits, reinforcing the new way of working, and a proper handover so the change sticks.
- 8
Your toolkit and assessment
Finish your one-page change plan and take away simple templates: impact assessment, stakeholder map, communications plan, readiness checklist and adoption tracker.

Why take this course
Many experienced change practitioners are asked for documents when they could be shaping decisions. This course builds the presence, influence and business sense to be heard by senior leaders, and shows how to turn your impact assessments into a case they can act on.
What you will be able to do
To help you influence the decisions that shape a change, using our UPELO™ method. By the end, you will be able to:
- Speak with a credible, consistent voice in senior meetings.
- Work out what each leader cares about, and build allies before you need them.
- Turn an impact assessment into a short business case covering benefits, risk and value.
- Use questions and framing that lower defensiveness and move people forward.
- Stay calm under pressure, and raise and escalate risk early with confidence and tact.
- See how people, process and incentives interact, and plan adoption and handover that last.
What you will cover

Day 1 · Understand. Show up as a credible voice in senior meetings: prepare, speak plainly, and be known for useful, well-judged contributions.

- 6
Seeing the system, owning the result

How ready is your organisation for AI?
A free, five-minute check. Fifteen short statements across five areas show you where you are strong and where to start.
About 5 minutesFreeNothing is stored or sent
What the check looks at
Five areas that decide whether AI helps your people or just adds noise. You answer for where you are today, not where you hope to be.
1
Direction
Can your leaders say, in plain words, what AI is for, and who owns it?
2
Skills and confidence
Do people know what AI can and cannot do, and is training matched to their roles?
3
Safe and fair use
Do people know what must never go into an AI tool, and do they check the output?
4
Rules and support
Is there a short, clear policy, somewhere safe to raise problems, and a record of who has been trained?
5
Change readiness
Have you listened to people's worries, set up champions and chosen how you will measure real use?
What your result means
You get an overall score and one of four bands, so you can see at a glance where you stand.
0 to 34%
Foundations needed
Most of the building blocks are still to come. Start with an owner, basic safe-use rules and entry-level training.
35 to 59%
Getting started
Some good steps are in place but they are patchy. Close the gaps in your lowest areas before you scale.
60 to 79%
Building well
Solid foundations in most areas. Targeted work on your weakest areas will make the biggest difference.
80 to 100%
Ready to scale
Your people, rules and support are strong. Keep records current and measure real use.
What you get
- An overall score and your band
- A score for each of the five areas
- Your three lowest areas, with a practical first step for each
- A page you can print or save as a PDF to share with colleagues
Good to know
It is a self-assessment, so the score reflects your own judgement. Treat it as a starting point for a conversation, and run it again after each phase of work to see progress.
Guidance only. It is not an audit or legal advice, and it does not say whether you meet any law or standard.
