Presentation Overview

Resistance to change is largely pre-programmed in humans. By improving their understanding of what is causing resistance, Project Managers can implement effective mitigation strategies. Change Frameworks, on the other hand, guide change adoption and may be used alongside a project management approach. Tailoring the approach is important since there is no “one size fits all” pathway to delivering change successfully.

 

The discussion and break-out groups will cover the following:

  • Ideas on how to spot and mitigate change resistance that could derail project success
  • The origins of resistance and why caves matter in that context
  • A few change management frameworks and their adjacency to a project management approach
  • A (very) brief introduction into Systems Thinking
