Projects are the tools that we use to execute business strategies and achieve business goals and objectives. People do projects (the project’s team) and for people (the project’s stakeholders). When an organization introduces a change with a project or initiative, it must effectively manage the change on both the technical and people sides.
- Focusing on the technical side ensures that the change is developed, designed, and delivered effectively. The discipline of project management provides the structure, processes, and tools to make this happen.
- Focusing on the people side ensures that the change will be embraced, adopted, and utilized by the stakeholders who are impacted positively or negatively due to the project. The discipline of change management provides the structure, processes, and tools to make this happen.
Project management and change management aim to increase the likelihood that projects or initiatives deliver their intended results and outcomes. The most effective approach is to integrate change management and project management to create a unified approach to implementing change on both fronts. This three-day, integrated, case-study-based class provides an overview of integrating change management with project management. It focuses on developing and applying a structured approach for managing and nurturing relationships in projects to implement change successfully. This course integrates insights from latest edition of the Project Management Institute’s Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide.
