Project Change Management
"It's not the strongest
Species that survive, or the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change."
Charles Darwin
Projects and the capabilities
to adapt them to new environments and requirements have become increasingly essential to
any organization's success. Now, just as Charles Darwin demonstrated the essential value
of change in nature, Project Change Management introduces processes and strategies to help
your organization benefit from business change.
This book/CD-ROM package is
the result of H. James Harrington, Daryl R. Conner, and Nicholas F. Homey's decades of
experience in change management, quality, and performance improvement. Practical,
easy-to-understand research, examples, and case studies are presented in the enjoyably
offbeat fashion that has made The H. James Hamngton Performance Improvement Series a
standby for executives and trainers worldwide.
"For a project to be
managed, the change it creates must be managed." H. James Hamngton
Dynamic, profitable, and
change-oriented organizations know how to motivate their workers to accept project change
as both an interesting challenge and an opportunity for personal and organizational
advancement. Project Change Management contains guidelines to help you:
Understand the concept ofMOC
(Managing Organizational Change) and use it to propel every project
Manage your company's
culture, both to enhance project team resilience and to minimize dysfunctional behavior
Prepare and conduct
skillful, successful fact-finding interviews with employees and external customers
Respond effectively to
change resistance regardless of whether it is based on emotion or an actual negative
impact on an individual
Apply MOC to all
phases of a process redesign project, as well as an SAP R/3 installation application
project
In virtually every business
today, the drivers of change have reformulated traditional economic models, supply chains,
and core strategic assumptions. The inevitability of change is an inescapable factor in
every project, and creates opportunities that must be instantly seized or forever lost.
Start today to acquire the skills to manage project change and pass those skills along to
each and every employee in your project chain with Project Change Management.
