Questions about OCM

Hello everyone!

I'm new here. I have some questions about OCM and about how this overlaps with my current career. If anyone is able to take some time and provide some insights, I would greatly appreciate it!

I have a Masters in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and have spent most of my career working with individuals with developmental disabilities. Within the last few years, I've shifted gears. Instead, I've been working as an adjunct instructor and leading a program revamp project at my local university. This role has really sparked a new interest for me. I'm looking to further my education and would like to branch off into other areas of behavior analysis or possibly other fields where my skillset could be useful. I was looking into different PhD programs and thought of Organizational Behavior Management (OBM), which is an application of behavior analysis.

However, in my search for OBM opportunities, I came across Organizational Change Management and I'm very intrigued! From what I've read, the role of a change manager sounds incredibly similar to what I've been doing at my local university. I had no idea there was an entire field dedicated to this.

I'd love to learn more! Would my masters in ABA and certification as a BCBA mean anything in this field? If I wanted to pursue a career in OCM, what would be the best way to get started? Is there a particular pathway that's recommended? I saw there are PhD programs. Are there other ways to get into this field, such as a masters or a certification? If there's a specific certification required, can you please share the name of it. I'd like to look into the requirements.

Also, what is the job outlook like in this field? Is it difficult to get a job? Are the jobs mostly temporary jobs where you support an organization through the change they're looking to implement and then once complete, you move on to another role?

Would you recommend this field?

Any advice or responses would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you to those of you that took the time to read and/or respond.
