August 11, 2020 Virtual Meeting - Adam Tidwell:Project Management and the People Side of Change

Project Management and the People Side of Change

Project Managers deliver projects on time, on budget, and within scope. Is that all there is to a successful project? No. Most times, projects require people to do things differently. How do we help people understand the changes, alter their behaviors, and quickly make them stick? In this session, we will discuss change management, the ADKAR model, and how to apply the people side of change to our projects and increase success.
