Running a successful change project requires skills in planning, budgeting, tracking deliverables and stakeholder management.
But there’s more to it than that. Too often, the ‘People Side’ is neglected – there’s just a single line at the end of the project plan that says ‘Comms and Training’. If people are going to have to work differently and learn some new processes, then there is work to be done by the project team to help them through the emotional side of the change.
This session explores why it’s important to bring people along when a change is being made. It will provide change teams with the skills and knowledge either to manage the people change plan themselves or to secure the right resources for their project
