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.

A message from PMICIE Leadership

We have made changes to our dinner meeting format by switching to virtual only format.   Several PMI Chapters and PMI Global have switched to virtual-only meetings. As of April 30, we have designated our chapter meetings as  Virtual/Web Conference meetings until further notice. 

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, we will re-evaluate the format of our upcoming meetings and determine the appropriate format as public health information and guidelines are updated.  We appreciate your continued support during this time.
