Course Overview
When a project or initiative is introduced in an organization, the plan needs to be effectively managed on both the technical side and the people side. The development, design, and delivery of the plan constitutes the technical side. The goal is to ensure that initiative is effectively conceived and has the promise of delivering results. Project management provides the structure, processes, and tools to make this happen.
The people side focus is on ensuring that the members of the organization are effectively on-boarded, which means that they embrace change, adopt the behaviors needed to effect change and begin to smoothly perform their work in ways that differ from what was previously expected of them. The discipline of change management provides the structure, processes and too¬¬ls to make this happen.
Project management in combination with change management aims to increase the likelihood that projects or initiatives deliver the intended results and outcomes.
