About X4MIS®
The Change Institute New Zealand was the home of the X4MIS Change Management Methodology until it’s soft launch this year.
The X4MIS® Change Management Methodology was developed over 10 years through interactions and experience with organisations with real life change requirements.
The methodology has transformed multiple times from the original version developed and used in the UK in 2007. The framework has evolved most recently through the collaboration of expert resource in preparation for its release in 2017.
The final version is still in development in preparation for the first training and certification programme this year.

The X4MIS Difference
What differentiates X4MIS from other methodologies?
- The X4MIS Change Management Methodology, supporting tools and processes is FREE to everyone to use.
- The X4MIS Change Management Methodology is driven by the business strategy incorporating programme and project execution within the change process. We believe the project supports the change rather than applying change management to the project.
X4MIS represents:
- A framework for planning, delivering and troubleshooting change programmes
- Fundamental principles that apply to any change situation
- Learning from real experience in organisational change management
X4MIS doesn’t represent:
- The only way to do business
- Specific laws and sequencing that specifies a timeline

Continued Improvements and Wikipedia
While we firmly believe there is little new in the core art of change and the science of human behaviour since John P. Kotter’s “Leading Change” was first published, Harvard Business School Press, in January 1996, there are continued developments in the delivery of change.
We plan to capture and share improvements to X4MIS via Wikipedia “Change never stops changing”.
