Uncovering and negating the hurdles in ICT project and program management to delivery successfully!
Encountering challenges and hurdles in the delivery of ICT projects and programs is predictable! However, what might these be and what do we need to do when we meet them?
The sixth session for 2017 will cover:
The Criticality of Managing Change
In today's environment of continuous and disruptive change, the ability to anticipate, understand and manage organisational change is critical - and almost always the differentiator that supports successful implementation of a new system or process. From identifying and working proactively with key stakeholders to understanding and managing people impacts (and what drives personal behaviour and responses in times of change) it's a key component of every project plan. Building a robust organisational change plan is critical to ultimate adoption of and proficiency in the change you're making.
Join guest speaker Wendy Grimston, Head of Country for Australia at the Change Management Institute to discuss the role of organisational change management in projects and programs, and to share your thoughts too.
The following sessions for the remainder of the year will be:
- 16 October 2017
- Procuring the right vendor and product
- 20 November 2017
- Measuring Adoption Program Project Success
As a member these sessions will cost $20 per session. If you are not a member, the sessions will cost $50 per session.

Online registration is required.
Light refreshments will be provided.
