"Integrating Organizational Change Management and Project Management"
Session Summary
Leslie Lenser and Caitlyn Sierra, guest presenters, will talk about how to integrate organizational change management activities into a project management framework. Every new project triggers a change, and this change must be managed on both the technical side and the people side. If you only focus on the technical side of the change, you lose the ability to help people fully adopt and embrace the change, and you put your project at risk of failure because no one wanted to use whatever the project created.
