Abstract:
Over the last decades, many projects met technical requirements but failed to deliver their intended value to the organization. Employee resistance, declining productivity, slower than expected adoption of the solution, miscommunication and poor executive sponsorship presented barriers that were difficult for project managers to overcome.
Change management provides the missing link – it delivers a structured approach to managing the ‘people side’ of change introduced by your projects. Additionally, recent research has shown that the likelihood that a project meets its objectives is directly tied to the change management effectiveness of the project. In the past, change management has been viewed as overly soft and lacking any real substance. In this session, Phil Eastman, Executive Instructor of Prosci Research, presents a comprehensive, systematic and research-based approach to managing the people side of change and how to link change management to project health and business results.
