Abstract
Project management processes and the training of new project managers (PM) must consider the impact of organizational change on the success and failure of project implementations. The case for requiring project managers to be conversant with organizational change management (OCM) is made by the author by reviewing supportive literature. In addition, PM certifying agencies like PMI and IPMA are strongly encouraged to include education on OCM to the certification process for new PMs.
*Other Sources are attached in this week’s Announcement because I cannot attach here…. One of the best sources to become familiar with is the article “10 Must Reads on Change” under OD reference sources. BUT, also do your own additional research!
**Post Script – I could not add multiple documents in Announcement, just one. So, if of interest, also take a look at the following found in our OD references:
- Mintzberg’s Ten Schools of Thought for Strategy
- 10 Must Reads on Change
- Change Leadership
- Leading Change
- Peter Senge on the learning organization
- Strategy Execution – A chapter by Hrebiniak
