Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide

Organizational change projects are the fourth most common type of project undertaken, but only 20 percent of organizations adopt a formal organizational change management practice. Studies show that organizations achieve higher success rates by using standardized portfolio, program, and project management techniques in concert with rigorous change management approaches.

Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide is unique in that it integrates two traditionally disparate world views on managing change: organizational development/human resources and portfolio/program/project management. By bringing these together, professionals from both worlds can use project management approaches to effectively create and manage change. This practice guide begins by providing the reader with a framework for creating organizational agility and judging change readiness.
