"Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide"helps practitioners and organizations embrace change as a strategic core competency
Project Management Institute (PMI), the world's largest not-for-profit membership association for the project management profession, has launched Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide for practitioners and organizations seeking to implement effective change management practices for their organizations. This guide is a culmination of PMI's 20-plus years of thought leadership in change management, helping project and program managers successfully identify change elements and account for them within a project/program plan. A PDF of this title is available as a free download for a limited time at www.PMI.org/ChangeManagement.
Projects and programs, by their very nature, drive change, and more organizations are recognizing the need for clear, powerful strategies that foster the development of effective internal change management capabilities. Recent research from PMI showed that effectively managing change contributes significantly to the increased success of projects and programs. For example, PMI's 2012 Pulse of the Profession In-Depth Study on Organizational Agility showed that organizations that are highly effective at change management are 117 percent more likely than less effective organizations to report increased success with new initiatives.
As organizations strive to succeed in an increasingly competitive global marketplace, they are seeking project, program and portfolio managers who can successfully lead change within their organizations, while ensuring that any change is strategically aligned to business goals. Managing Change in Organizations: A Practice Guide identifies effective change management practices and how these can be applied in the context of portfolio, program and project management. It also serves as a guide to help project managers ensure that the entire team understands the dynamics of managing change.
