Successful Change Management

Change Management Program is for those leading change in projects, or for project managers who need to learn change disciplines to ensure project success. This program is a practical guide to successfully initiating, planning, implementing and sustaining any business initiative or change. The program follows the project life cycle of initiating, planning, ongoing management and post implementation.

So it includes relevant models from Project Vision to Stakeholder Commitment Assessment to a Sustaining Change Model.

Change Management in this program is defined as a process of realising project benefits by engaging and developing people, managing expectations and mitigating risks.

Executive Alignment Workshop is a one day workshop to help the
Executives and Managers to:

Clearly define the success measures of the project
Understand the critical success factors to implementing major change
Gain commitment to the change
Understand their roles and responsibilities in supporting, reinforcing and coaching their people in the new initiative
Communicate the right messages to the field organisation
Add value to the sales process and the review process
Finalize the Implementation Plan

As leading change management guru, Daryl F. Conner (President, CEO of ODR) says, “You don’t get change because you are right. You get change because you have strong sponsorship.”

This is the focus of the program, to gain the buy-in and commitment of the Executives and Managers to the change initiative and to provide them with a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities to lead and drive it to achieve the desired outcomes. This is a critical component of any change initiative as many initiatives fail because this commitment is not in place.

Who Should Attend? Change Management Program is designed for two types of project professionals. The first are project managers who need to learn change disciplines to ensure project success. This might be to ‘wear the change hat’ on smaller projects or to understand how to partner with a change manager on a large project. The second are change professionals who are charged with the change responsibilities on a large project. This second group may include people who want to understand the principles of change management as part of a wider role in learning and development, human resources or business management.

How will participants benefit?

Participants benefit in three major ways:

• Understanding how to build and deliver on a communication strategy that engages and motivates key stakeholders, change enablers and change agents to deliver project outcomes.

• Learn a new set of change tools to use with existing project management tools to enhance the project design, delivery and sustainability process.

• Develop the confidence required to work in a challenging change environment that may include scope creep, people resistance, time pressures and budget issues to address.
