COURSE OVERVIEW
A dynamic organization is constantly experiencing change. Without change there is no progress and the organization will either stand still or slide back. Change is necessary to increase the ‘business value’ of the organization and to keep the organization ‘future proof’.
Projects are the vehicles of change within the organization. Any change needs to be effected through the implementation of a project and normally every project comes with a significant amount of change. That is why change management and project management are closely related.
Change needs to be closely managed and therefore good Change Management practices in Projects are crucial for a successful organization. This training module provides an introduction to some of the processes and practices that are part of change management projects. It is an ideal training for all those who need to understand the nature of change management in an organization.
