Presentation file from the session: 20201021_L&L_Project_Manager_as_Change_Manager.pdf
As we all know, projects deliver new or improved (changed) products, services, capabilities, and/or processes. It used to be that the success of a project was judged by whether or not it was delivered on time, and within budget and scope. But in today’s business environment, the definition of “ultimate” project success is how the project deliverables are accepted and used by the receiving customers, sponsors, and stakeholders. So, the role of the project manager is to deliver the deliverable, AND to ensure the successful adoption of that deliverable.
This fundamental shift requires some new thinking about the project manager’s role and responsibilities. This talk will show how to integrate John Kotter’s 8 step model for change into the project management process groups, and ensure that your project will achieve “ultimate success”.
