Description

Overview Change management is a term that is used freely. Sometimes it's a scapegoat for less than stellar results: "That initiative failed because we didn't focus enough on change management." And it's often used as a catch-all for project activities that might otherwise get overlooked: "When we implement that new process, let's not forget about the change management."

It's a noun: "Change management is key to the project." It's a verb: "We really need to change manage that process." It's an adjective: "My change management skills are improving."

In this course, participants will learn how applying a simple model can make change initiatives successful.
