Explore Stakeholder Engagement  Strategies and All Things Change Management

When Change Managers and Change Leaders work together to deliver successful change, the resulting partnership can be tremendously satisfying. Organisations can increase their likelihood of success and achieve sustainable results. Effective change implementations require careful planning and a commitment to creating the right kind of environment for the impacted audience to acknowledge, get ready for and adapt to the new state of things.

Change management and project management are both fields where shifts and adjustments are constant. Effective change management can be the differentiator between a project that flounders and one that flourishes. We examine the correlation between project success and the efficacy of change management.

Projects—as a vehicle of change—are often excellent at focusing on systems and process, putting together a schedule and budget, and hiring the right expertise to ensure seamless systems integration. But a successful implementation needs people planning. On its own, a project focus often doesn't deliver the people side well, and this is where change management plays a vital role.
