Change Management

“Producing consistent results in rapidly changing environments”

Workshop Duration: Half Day

Target Audience: Senior Managers & Project Managers

The Problem

PMI standards for successful project management, much like Six Sigma, are based on the assumption that things don't really change: that the conditions of the business environment and the desired goals of the client are fixed, or at worst, only change within a small range. In addition, project time-lines and benchmarks also assume that many things about the team itself are constant. As the rate of disruptive innovation increases, these traditional models of project management may not be the most effective way to operate project teams. Managing the change process is becoming a critical part of project management.
