v. Change Management Workshop

Change is critical element in any major project or programme. But despite the importance of attending to the human dimensions of change, methodologies and project managers alike, often fail to address them fully enough. All projects lead to shifts in organisations, be it power, market position, structure of people’s roles and responsibilities. Therefore any project should expect turbulence, resistance and politics. Each of these reactions lead to change and the project needs to address them. Hiding behind methods, tools and process will not lead to lasting change nor will it help the project manager deal with the change related issues on their projects.

Description

Success in projects requires the project manager to embrace the fundamental dimensions of change namely:
 Power
 Politics
 Resistance to change.

And, in responding to these, the project manager needs to understand the following:
 The dynamics of change
 How to influence and manage stakeholders
 The culture of the organisation in which they are delivering their projects (which will affect how change has to be managed).

Objectives

See above.

This workshop is for anyone who is involved in changing their organisation, not just change leaders.
