How to Work with Change Professionals
Overview
Projects are demanding, change is constant, and project, program and portfolio managers often operate under prolonged pressure. In this Lunch and Learn, participants gain greater insight into themselves, what matters most to them and why, alongside a deeper understanding of the evolving role of change management and why not all change managers are created equal. The session explores how change managers and sponsors partner with executives to deliver business change, and how stronger, more informed collaboration can reduce stress, improve relationships and support more successful project delivery.
Learning Outcomes
Attendees will leave equipped with practical takeaways, including how to:
- Understand what you value most in life, and how to better align your work and life with those values to achieve greater fulfilment.
- Explore the key phases of change management, how they overlap with technology change plans, and how to assess whether people are keeping pace with your go-live date.
- Work more successfully and collaboratively with Change Managers to support effective business change.
