Project HEADWAY: Rethinking How We Manage Change

 

This presentation is supporting material for this video.

Projects are a source of change. While debates have raged about whether change management should occur within a project, or as a separate project, there is little question that getting an organization to adopt a new way of operating requires change to occur. The way we tend to look at change is often framed by the mechanics and processes. We need to manage changes to structures, roles, responsibilities, processes and systems. We need to move from our current state to our desired future state. We need to break with the old way, transform our approach, and solidify our new mode of operations. 

Despite our attempts to define clear lines and boxes around the change process, change management is an inherently messy undertaking. Change involves people, power, politics and emotions. Some actively seek change, some cautiously embrace it and some fundamentally oppose it. If we are to ultimately realize our goals, however, everyone needs to accept—if not embrace—a new mode of being. In this presentation, Mark Mullaly explores the forces behind the change process, and how they support—and derail—the ability to create effective change. You will learn to look beyond the processes to the people and perceptions that shape effective change. You will be exposed to strategies and mindsets that can help make the change process more acceptable and adopted. You will build new perspectives that you can apply in helping your next change effort to have a greater impact.
