PMI Austin Chapter Meeting (Virtual) - Combining the Roles of Project Management and Organizational Change Management - the Joys and Challenges

The skills of both Project Management (PM) and Organizational Change Management (OCM) have never been so critical. Reaching business goals through solid Project Management, while understanding human systems, from an Organizational Change Management (OCM) perspective, is the key to getting your project’s return on investment.
In this interactive session, we will explore the dependencies of OCM and PM, with practical tips for those practitioners who have expertise in one or both to best complement each other.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
- Learn about the interdependencies of OCM and PM
- Understand how to build an OCM WBS that will align with the master schedule
- Minimize project delays with strong sponsorship & resource management
