where can i find approved case studies on transformation change initiatives where both project and change managers were involved.
I need a few case studies to analyze for my masters thesis. my topic is around analyzing case studies where both project management and change management teams were involved - to see what worked and what didn't work and what were the causes? Saving Changes...
When people refer to 2nd order, it typically denotes the rate of change (transformation) is not constant. y = mx +b is a first order equation (definition of a straight line). ax^2 + bx + c = 0 (definition of a curve) is a 2nd order equation. That could mean transformation is accelerating over time or tapering off.
When you state approved case studies, my first question is, "Approved by whom?"
Reading your question, I'm not sure what you're asking. If you are going to use those terms in your thesis, I would be careful about using the terms correctly as your professor may have the same questions as myself.

Sorry didn’t think it would be so confusing.
Im looking to study transformation change initiatives where both project and change management teams have had to work together.
Considering academic research has shown that project and change managers are unable to collaborate.
Thank you for taking the time to respond

This is an interesting observation - while it is valid that lower maturity organizations, to their detriment, might not engage change management skills when undertaking transformational projects, most of the larger, more mature (from a PM perspective) companies I worked with made sure to include seasoned CM practitioners from the early stages of an initiative to support the business lead and PM in achieving a sustainable change.
Thank you for this. I’m looking for case studies where both have been involved and to analyze how they collaborated.
What worked what didn’t work and why?
My own experience is that change management is leveraged effectively on large projects that can afford to have dedicated change management teams. Smaller projects expect the project manager to take on multiple roles, including change management.

PMI's Managing Change in Organizations practice guide provides a number of useful insights about the interaction between PM and CM roles and processes.
When I was working for a large Canadian bank which had a fairly mature set of standards for both PM & CM, the collaboration between the two roles tended to be very productive although some times the bigger challenge was convincing business leads that they needed to engage a CM. As that company's project standards required internal labor to be funded by project budgets, the business leads didn't always understand the benefits they'd get for spending money on engaging a CM. The other challenge I saw was that while the engagement model and processes were well understood and practiced on predictive life cycles, when it came to adaptive ones, it was a little trickier as the CMs were used to having "all the answers" before downstream CM artifacts were produced.

Hello Rizwana -
I suggest reviewing the Academic Programs & Research page at https://www.pmi.org/learning/academic-research on PMI.org. Click on "Curriculum and Resources" where you can find various case studies. I do hope this helps with your research!

Sure - the existing PM standards were focused on prescriptive processes and artifacts which various roles produced over a project's lifetime. With an adaptive approach, the nature of the artifacts changed as well as how they were completed, so the CMs needed guidance in understanding how best to engage with the other delivery team members when requirements, end user content and so on was evolving over the life of the change development.
