• Organizational Change Leadership/Transformational Project Management
  Mature organizations who are contemplating process and technology deployment projects quickly come to the conclusion that the true project management challenge is managing change. Technology and process deployments most often fail because the cultural and operational changes needed to effectively enable new ways of doing business are not addressed. Whether attempting to deploy a new email system or new health-care information management technologies and processes, these efforts require first approaching the challenges of organization change. Making changes to the way people work require leadership, an understanding of motivational dynamics, and creating policies that promote desired behaviors. This course will help your organization deliver a successful change management program.
