Change Management - The Missing link in Management
You have to be a member to view this video.
There's an old adage that we seem to believe in, "Build it and they will come!"... Nothing could be further from the truth. We've all worked on projects that finished on time, on budget and on spec and yet the final products gather dust on the shelves, unnoticed, unused and unloved.
What role exists for us to ensure that what we work so hard to deliver, will be embraced, and valued by our users? How do we create desire to participate in what we do? How do we get our users (and ourselves) to embrace Change?
Overview:
Management is faced with two conflicting situations;
a) We must implement all Change that is necessary and,
b) We must resist all Change that isn't.
These are both obviously true and therefore pose a paradox and a Management Challenge;
a) How can we get people to embrace the Change that is necessary?
b) How can we create an environment that allows rational resistance?
This session examines the tools available to organizations to help them achieve what at first glance appears as an unsolvable conundrum.
