Description

This workshop offers project managers the skills they need to be effective change leaders. Project managers will learn to assess how stakeholders will be impacted by the implementation of a project, and to redirect and coach team members when changes to project priorities, specifications, timelines, and/or resources occur. The workshop provides a five phase change management methodology for strategically and tactically managing change, and its implications within the organization. We equip project managers to handle the “human side” of change in a project environment.
