Microsoft Adoption and Change Management Partner program
Hi Agustin,
There is a framework MS is giving to partners for Adoption and Change Management. You can find the materials, a video explaining and more info at https://aka.ms/changemanagement-for-partners
Hope this helps you!

Sorry for the slow reply -- Yes there is one, via Microsoft Services that has been piloted in the UK and Australia the past 12 months (we have been fortunate enough to be part of the pilot). At Microsoft Inspire in DC there was a session that discussed opening up the program to other territories. Basically it enables Microsoft Partners to license Prosci based Adoption and Change materials used by Microsoft Services' Adoption & Change Management team.
I would ask your Partner Manager / local Microsoft Services folk if you are interested in the program.
Hi Sharon. The programme was called “Adoption Services offer for Microsoft Partners.” It may have only been offered to a small group of partners in the UK and Australia. As Paul Woods mentioned, there will be more details after Microsoft Inspire about the expansion of the programme.
For years Microsoft Services has successfully driven adoption using change management as the engine by engaging directly through a portfolio of Adoption Services offers, delivered by a dedicated Adoption and Change Management (ACM) Global Delivery Practice. For driving adoption of Office 365, as an example, these offers build on top of the Microsoft FastTrack approach and assets for Office 365, and incorporate IP from Prosci®, Inc. – the world leader in the professional discipline of Change Management.

In 2017, for the first time, Microsoft Services released the Adoption Services Program for Partners, based on the proven behavior Change Management methodology that we use, blending Prosci and Microsoft IP. This Program was designed to allow partners to build or expand their own services practice around Adoption and Change Management, and could complement their technical business. The program was released to 50 select partners in the UK and Australia in March 2017, and was expanded in May 2018 to some additional partners globally. We're currently gathering feedback, investigating how and when a broader rollout of this content should occur.
- This sounds great. I would be very interested in knowing as and when this program becomes more broadly available. Whom do you suggest we contact in our local subsidiary (India)?
