PMI Global Conference 2018

Have you ever delivered your project (i.e., an application) on time, on budget and to the requirements agreed to in writing only to learn that, two years later, the project deliverable is shelved because no one used it? Are you annoyed by stakeholders trying to change your project while you are in delivery mode? Projects bring about change in organizations - in structure, processes, tools and, inevitably, behavior. Our project deliverables must enable business outcomes, and business outcomes can only be realized with organizational change. This interactive session will examine basic organizational change management theory and provide project managers with a basic toolkit that will enable participants to move from delivering deliverables to changing and transforming organizations.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
(1) explain the components of an organizational change management strategy and how to embed it in the project definition and execution;
(2) discuss how to manage the pitfalls of implementing organizational change.
