Integrating Organizational Change Management concepts with Project Management and Business Analysis functions

Monday, August 15, 2016 -

6:00pm to 8:00pm

With the high cost of project failure, continuous improvement of your project management, business analysis, and delivery capabilities is critical. Standardized templates and processes drive repeatable processes allowing more focus on innovation and quality. Proper governance and portfolio management will take your organization further. But many organizations fail to mitigate one of the most critical areas of project failure by not integrating the concepts of organizational change management (OCM) into their project management and business analysis best practices. Failure to plan for and mitigate risk surrounding the organizational change that accompanies almost any project can result in failed or cancelled projects, customer dissatisfaction, and the inability for your delivery organization to be seen as a strategic asset and partner to your business stakeholders. Establishing and integrating an OCM Framework into your PM and BA process frameworks helps to ensure that business stakeholder needs are planned for, realized, and most importantly – OPTIMIZED!

This session will present the core components of an OCM framework and the key integration points within your project management and business analysis processes. Attendees will understand the characteristics between a proactive and a reactive business analyst, and its impact on organizational change management. Utilizing case studies, this session will demonstrate how effective OCM principles applied to project management and business analysis functions were critical in the successful delivery of large projects.

Three Objectives:

Utilize a practical OCM framework and understand the key integration points into both the governance process, and project and business analysis lifecycles.
Understand the characteristics between a proactive and a reactive business analyst, and its impact on organizational change management.
Understand and be able to apply key lessons learned from case studies where OCM concepts played a large role in the successful delivery of large $10M+ projects.
