The document summarizes research conducted on resistance to change from a leader's perspective. It interviewed 16 change leaders from over 55 organizations across various industries. The research identified 17 symptoms of resistance to change categorized into individual, group, and organizational levels. It suggests that leaders' inability to address deeper psychological levels like values and identity may be why most change initiatives fail. The document explores frameworks for leading change and individual/group transitions more effectively.
On Tuesday 26th November 2013 in the heart of Birmingham ProgM SIG staged “Delivering more 4 less: using programme management to achieve transformational change in times of austerity." The SIG had promised an event that weaved together the four ‘C’s’ theme namely collaboration, change, community and competence, drawing on a wealth of experience from across the public sector. http://bit.ly/progmm4l
Merv Wyeth, ProgM Chair introduced the conference by describing how the event had been designed with the intention of providing delegates with a high return on their personal investment – i.e attendance and participation #eventroi. The big idea was that the day should be an enjoyable shared experience that offered an exceptional opportunity for learning, motivation and networking in the field of programme management.
Time and space was built into the programme to enable the audience to interrogate (police were present), and otherwise question, speakers. They were also given the opportunity to vote in polls on issues and questions that speakers posed, which offered additional insights into audience perception and sentiment which otherwise would not have been available.
The conference offered the chance for Jim Dale to provide a ‘sitrep’ on his ProgM-backed
Collaborative Change research namely “Using research to improve the delivery and effectiveness of change programmes and projects” previewed in last month’s show-case webinar. During his presentation Jim provided an update of the story so far, thanked those who had already participated either in an interview or by completing the survey. ProgM would like to extend the opportunity to all those currently, or previously, involved in programme management and related collaborative activity to participate in this important Collaborative Change survey.
On the day, Steve Wake, newly appointed Chair of APM Board, was available to round-up the proceedings and provide a special vote of thanks to his Board colleagues, the organising committee and our generous sponsors, BMT Hi-Q Sigma. He reminded those present of the ongoing Strategy 2020 initiative of “Listening, learning and leading” that complements events of this type.
One delegate (Neil White) wrote “A constant theme, running like a golden thread throughout the day, was that effective programme management is a necessary and complimentary bedfellow of collaboration, and an important ingredient in delivering successful transformational change.
Whereas projects are essentially objective and enable the effective development and delivery of ‘products’ (some of which are can be very big products!) it was recognised that programmes are much more subjective and must be sensitive to the environment in which they are operate.
Rather than see them as obstacles, programme managers must respect and be prepared to exploit the systems and organisations surrounding them to their mutual benefit.
The document discusses the challenges of organizational change and improving the delivery and effectiveness of change programs and projects. It notes that the failure rate of change initiatives is estimated to be 60% or higher. Several reasons for this high failure rate are explored, including outdated research, a lack of common agreement on best practices, and managers underestimating the challenges of change. The document advocates for more research to develop evidence-based models and challenge current assumptions. It encourages participants to complete a survey to help improve understanding of major organizational change.
The document discusses key aspects of change management. It defines change management as a broad subject that depends on perspective. It also discusses that the most natural human reaction to change is resistance, and that understanding the root causes of resistance requires discovering hidden concerns. Finally, it provides an overview of tools and methods for change management, including communication, stakeholder analysis, and developing skills and coaching those impacted by change.
This document discusses approaches to improving change management success rates. It begins by noting that change is constant but change management failure rates remain high, despite decades of advice. It argues that a systematic, disciplined approach is needed. The document then outlines elements of an integrated change management approach called the "Change Delta", including:
- Executional certainty, which provides transparency into progress and issues to enable course corrections.
- Enabled leaders who own the change vision and speak with one voice, having the tools and training to manage change.
- An engaged organization where employees at all levels understand and can manage change.
- Governance, program management, and a program management office that provide structure, accountability and information
Change Management at Geberit Ltd. - Case StudyPannonwatt Zrt.
This document discusses a case study of change management at Geberit Hungary Kft. It describes some of the issues the company addressed, including leadership, teamwork, performance, costs, and customer approach. It also discusses potential causes of resistance to change and key issues to consider in the initial phase, such as communicating the reasons for change and gaining employee cooperation. Finally, it summarizes some of the benefits that resulted from the organizational changes, including increased sales, costs savings, and improved customer satisfaction.
Change Management is a term that is often loosely used and confused. It is an everyday specialization that deserves niche attention in the strategic framework of an organization.
This document discusses the importance of communication during organizational change. It outlines the communication process, including encoding, transmission, decoding and feedback. Effective communication strategies are important for change management and include explaining the need for change, clarifying the vision, inspiring action, and sustaining momentum. A communications plan should identify objectives, desired outcomes, methods, audiences, and feedback measures for change communication. Communication is integral to managing change successfully in an organization.

HCC Demystifying Change Management Presentation 9.27.11The Hackett Group
This document provides an overview of change management for HR professionals. It discusses the psychology of change and how people resist change. It defines organizational change and change management, and outlines different change management models. The document also discusses assessing organizational readiness for change by analyzing employee reactions, readiness, and resistance. Managers play a key role in change by communicating the need for change and coaching employees. Readiness is assessed before, during and after change using surveys, interviews and observations.
Strategic change management in large organizations is complex, involving hundreds to thousands of people across multiple programs and projects. It requires addressing both structural and cultural changes while continuing business operations. Successful change depends on establishing a clear need for change, communicating an attractive vision, and convincing people the change is practical. It also requires overcoming resistance, which varies based on the perceived threats and benefits of change. A holistic approach is needed to coordinate all elements of the organization, as modeled by frameworks like the Burke-Litwin Change Model. While new processes and systems are important, truly benefiting requires supporting people through the emotional transitions of change over time.
This is a guide of why change so often fails. It also explains how to implement successful change. Most importantly is goes over the 5 major change methodologies. In effect each methodology is unique to the of change you want to implement

February 2019 CoP Webinar - Building Maturity - using the Change Management M...Prosci ANZ
Vicky Emery, General Manager at Prosci, presented a webinar on using the Prosci Change Management Maturity Audit. The webinar introduced the Prosci Change Management Maturity Model and benchmark data on change management maturity globally and by region/industry. Emery reviewed the 5 elements that build change management maturity - Leadership, Application, Competencies, Standardization, and Socialization. An example organization's audit results were shared, showing their overall maturity level of 2.3. Emery provided top tips for effectively using the audit, such as completing it yourself first and allowing time for discussion. The audit can be used to strategically plan how to increase an organization's change management maturity over time.
This document discusses five activities that contribute to effective change management: 1) Motivating change by sensitizing organizations to needed changes and conveying positive expectations, 2) Creating a vision of the desired future state, 3) Developing political support by assessing stakeholders and influencing them, 4) Managing the transition from current to future state through planning and change teams, and 5) Sustaining momentum by providing resources, building support systems, and reinforcing new behaviors. It also recommends books on organizational development and change management.

It outlines some of the key drivers of change today, including new technologies and increased global interconnectedness. It also discusses the importance of having an openness to change and being responsive to uncertainty. The document then provides an overview of the typical stages in a change process, from establishing urgency to institutionalizing new approaches. It notes that the rate of change can have a greater impact on people than the direction of change. The document also discusses some common obstacles to change, such as resistance to the status quo, and tendencies that can block change processes. It emphasizes that the most important skill is the ability to manage change successfully.
Change Management - 5 Steps To Drive Change In your CompanyEduard Radu
The document discusses why most change initiatives fail in organizations and provides 5 steps to successfully drive change. It states that change initiatives often fail because people do not understand how the change will impact them, they are not trained or helped to adapt to the change, they are not involved in the change process, they are not inspired by the benefits of the change, and there are no examples that demonstrate the change is occurring. It then outlines 5 steps to drive successful change: create urgency, provide clarity on why and how the change is happening, help people understand how things will change, provide training, involve key people and get feedback, explain the benefits, and identify examples of the change taking place.

This document discusses organisation change management. It provides an overview of key aspects of change management including change readiness assessment, communications strategy, establishing a change facilitator network, and developing a transition management plan. The goal is to manage the people components during a business transformation initiative to help ensure the desired outcomes are achieved. A structured change management approach is advocated to help address implementation issues, build commitment rather than just compliance, and align organisational performance with the goals of the change.
The document outlines a 4-step change management process: 1) Prepare for the change by scoping it and building a change team. 2) Execute the change by developing plans and executing them. 3) Manage the change by integrating plans and tracking progress. 4) Reinforce the change by evaluating execution, addressing resistors, and implementing corrections through follow up iterations. It notes change affects entities at all levels from individuals to organizations, and that successful change management must reach individuals by addressing their needs, understanding, knowledge, resources, and training.
The document discusses how to build a case for change within an organization. It explains that a clear vision of the future state is important, including what products/services, technology, operations, structure, and stakeholder interactions will be like. A case for change should introduce the driver for change, what type of change it is (developmental, transitional, or transformational), and address questions about the scope, strategy alignment, stakeholders, sponsorship, benefits, resources, risks, dependencies, impacts, success factors, feedback, and success measurement. Communicating the case through storytelling can help stakeholders envision the future state. Gaining support involves engaging stakeholders in dialogue to understand concerns and build trust early in the change process.

On Tuesday 26th November 2013 in the heart of Birmingham ProgM SIG staged “Delivering more 4 less: using programme management to achieve transformational change in times of austerity." The SIG had promised an event that weaved together the four ‘C’s’ theme namely collaboration, change, community and competence, drawing on a wealth of experience from across the public sector. http://bit.ly/progmm4l
Merv Wyeth, ProgM Chair introduced the conference by describing how the event had been designed with the intention of providing delegates with a high return on their personal investment – i.e attendance and participation #eventroi. The big idea was that the day should be an enjoyable shared experience that offered an exceptional opportunity for learning, motivation and networking in the field of programme management.
Time and space was built into the programme to enable the audience to interrogate (police were present), and otherwise question, speakers. They were also given the opportunity to vote in polls on issues and questions that speakers posed, which offered additional insights into audience perception and sentiment which otherwise would not have been available.
The conference offered the chance for Jim Dale to provide a ‘sitrep’ on his ProgM-backed
Collaborative Change research namely “Using research to improve the delivery and effectiveness of change programmes and projects” previewed in last month’s show-case webinar. During his presentation Jim provided an update of the story so far, thanked those who had already participated either in an interview or by completing the survey. ProgM would like to extend the opportunity to all those currently, or previously, involved in programme management and related collaborative activity to participate in this important Collaborative Change survey.
On the day, Steve Wake, newly appointed Chair of APM Board, was available to round-up the proceedings and provide a special vote of thanks to his Board colleagues, the organising committee and our generous sponsors, BMT Hi-Q Sigma. He reminded those present of the ongoing Strategy 2020 initiative of “Listening, learning and leading” that complements events of this type.
One delegate (Neil White) wrote “A constant theme, running like a golden thread throughout the day, was that effective programme management is a necessary and complimentary bedfellow of collaboration, and an important ingredient in delivering successful transformational change.
Whereas projects are essentially objective and enable the effective development and delivery of ‘products’ (some of which are can be very big products!) it was recognised that programmes are much more subjective and must be sensitive to the environment in which they are operate.
Rather than see them as obstacles, programme managers must respect and be prepared to exploit the systems and organisations surrounding them to their mutual benefit.
Power Forward Operating Base (PowerFOB) was aimed at identifying fuel efficient technologies and sustainable electrical power alternatives to fossil fuels with the objective of making FOBs as ‘fuel-sufficient’ as possible whilst maintaining operational capability, therefore reducing the logistic burden imposed on the supply chain through the transportation of fuel.
This well attended event was presented by Paul Johnson who was programme manager for this challenging and interesting technology demonstration programme, which took place at BAWA, Bristol on 12th March 2013.
How do you kill collaboration in organisations

Collaboration, co-operation and competition - project environments through a knowledge lens
Knowledge SIG conference
The document discusses factors that influence successful project delivery. It identifies five key factors: initiating projects strategically; understanding stakeholders and their influence; managing expectations and risks appropriately; having strong working relationships across the delivery chain; and defining success in terms of outcomes and benefits, not just outputs. It also provides examples of both successful (London 2012 Olympics) and challenged (UK mobile policing) projects to illustrate lessons learned.
This document discusses creativity and problem-solving in project management. It is authored by Tom Taylor, who leads several organizations. The document provides examples of common problems that arise in projects and suggests techniques for managers to consider when facing issues. These techniques range from taking no action to delegating the problem or cultivating a culture where creativity is valued. The author concludes that thinking may not be the key to creativity and that wisdom may be a better approach for managing projects and teams.
This presentation was given at the APM South Wales and West of England branch AGM on 21st May 2014, in Bristol.
The chairman introduced Ben Hardy of the Bristol International Balloon Fiesta. Ben explained that he has been involved with the fiesta since 2000, and the full time event director since 2010.
The Bristol International Balloon Fiesta was started in 1979 by Don Cameron. It is run as a not for profit company with a board of 8 trustees, Don being the Chairman. Its constitution requires it to be a credit to Bristol, promote employment in the area and be free from admission charges. It is known worldwide and attracts some 500,000 visitors each year.
Ben outlined the organisational structure and his team’s role in project managing the event each year. The fiesta costs £596K per year, with an income of £600K which is weather dependent, and so represents a considerable financial risk. The fiesta is good for the local economy, for every £1 in costs, it is estimated that £15 is spent in the local economy by visitors from outside the local area. The fiesta has huge media impact, with 1.891 billion circulation figures worth nearly £2M in marketing value.
Before the recession, the event was supported by key sponsors who underpinned the financial risk, but this is no longer the case. Some sponsorship is gained via the ‘100 Club’ of local Bristol firms, but the financial risk is clear and the event has needed ever tighter planning and management.
Ben explained some of the challenges he has had to deal with, including improving crowd safety, establishing a value for money focussed procurement strategy, getting the ballooning community re-engaged, and attracting visitors for the whole day to help increase foot-fall for the traders. Ben described his role as multidisciplinary.
A lot of time is spent on managing the stakeholders, the local councils and residents. The fiesta is seen as Bristol’s event, but Ashton Court is actually in North Somerset, and so the stakeholders have not always been easy to align. There is now an operations planning group with key stakeholders to coordinate and direct the planning.
For the future, a strategic risk register has been developed, which includes plans for alternative venues. This, and the creation of a financial reserve, will help manage the financial risk.
Ben has found the Podio collaborative tool ideal for project managing the fiesta.

Coping with disruptive change with Steve Beaumont held in the Holiday Inn Notts Derby on 18th February 2016.
The only constant is Change. Change is happening in every market, faster and more disruptively than ever before. A business must have the flexibility and agility to adapt to changing business conditions. As the pace of change accelerates the organisations are not adapting quickly.The volume, complexity, and urgency of change is increasing Programmes are not responding appropriately
The document outlines Kathy Ennis' approach to helping people answer six key questions to define their goals and plan for change. The six questions are: 1) Who am I? 2) Where am I now? 3) How satisfied am I? 4) What changes do I want? 5) How do I make change happen? 6) What if my plan doesn't work out? Kathy provides tools and techniques for self-reflection to help people answer each question, define their strengths, priorities and desires to create an effective plan for personal or professional growth and change.

Managing projects across borders in East Asia
Hong Kong branch
by Stuart Gethin, Associate Director, Programme and Project Management at Arup
Tuesday 19th May 2015
The document discusses the role of project management offices (PMOs) in facilitating knowledge management within organizations. It outlines six aspects of effective knowledge management: 1) having a social dimension that connects people, 2) focusing on knowledge flows between people rather than static knowledge stocks, 3) demonstrating how knowledge management makes a difference, 4) enabling improvement and learning, 5) cultivating a knowledge-sharing culture, and 6) recognizing the importance of knowledge management. The document argues that PMOs should consider how to embed these aspects of knowledge management into their activities and address potential obstacles to sharing knowledge within projects and programs.
This document summarizes a presentation on motivating enterprise-wide initiatives through the use of client data and insights.

Richard Bacon MP for South Norfolk and successful author of ‘Conundrum: Why every government gets things wrong and what we can do about it’ was the guest speaker at highly entertaining and informative ProgM event held in Central London.
Securing Richard’s attendance was a coup for ProgM. Merv Wyeth (ProgM Chair) confessed that the evening represented the culmination of months of stalking and some mild harassment to ensure the committee ‘got their man’.
Steve Wake, Chair of APM Board, introduced the evening with a personal story about the seminal Committee of Public Accounts, Eighth Report “The Proper Conduct of Public Business,” that had started him out on the road of earned value. This set the context for Richard to explain what, if anything, had changed in twenty years!
Richard did not ‘pull his punches’ and his early assessment of the consequences of failed major projects was uncompromising:
“Don’t be surprised, he told the assembled, if what you end up with:
• is a mess that is way behind schedule,
• damages your organization,
• traumatizes your staff,
• costs much more than it is supposed to,
• and doesn’t work!
As a member of the highly influential House of Commons Public Accounts Committee Richard has been exposed to the full range of major project horror stories.
While Richard’s focus was on the really big projects that cost the most and carry the greatest risk, his advice is equally applicable to those smaller scale projects, that many of us have personal experience of, and, irritatingly, somehow have an uncanny habit of achieving a sub optimal outcome.
Richard’s assessment of the causes of failure reveals the same olde problems with which we are all familiar:
• very high staff turnover
• lack of information
• lack of knowledge about costs and sloppy financial management
• lack of key skills
• poor project management
• lack of procurement capability
• risk aversion and risk ignorance.
So why do we get it wrong, seemingly again and again?
Richard’s answer lies in human nature - “it’s behavior stupid’’ … Get this right and then we are on the way to successful delivery. Yet, and here is the ‘conundrum’, while senior managers handle and live comfortably with ambiguity successful project managers are programmed to nail down scope at the earliest possible stage.
This survey was developed by the Burson-Marsteller EMEA Change Communications Practice and conducted by Penn Schoen Berland. Respondents count 483 HR and
communications decision makers across 10 European markets, including UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Norway, Finland, Sweden, and Denmark.
The survey identifies key drivers and barriers to successful handling of strategic change
Processes, which types of strategic changes companies have experienced in the past five years and which strategic changes they expect to see in the years to come.
The following presentation presents the findings of the survey. The different cultural backgrounds of the respondents can have affected the answers – this has not been taken into consideration in the presentation of the results.
This document summarizes an assessment of the impact of initiatives by the Niger Delta Partnership Initiative Foundation (NDPI) and the Foundation for Partnership Initiatives in the Niger Delta (PIND) in Nigeria's Niger Delta region. The assessment uses innovative approaches, including a maturity model and rate of adoption calculations, to evaluate progress toward systemic change. Key findings include positive impacts of PIND-supported innovations in aquaculture, cassava, and peacebuilding. The assessment also provides recommendations to further increase impacts, enhance PIND's operations, and share lessons with other development organizations.
This audit report summarizes an operational review of Taronga Zoo conducted through employee surveys and management interviews. The surveys of 20 employees found effective communication of the zoo's mission but lower agreement that it achieves its mission. Interviews with the general manager explored challenges around stagnating visitor numbers and revenues in recent years. The report analyzes findings through frameworks of institutional bureaucracy, critical management, and organizational dynamics to identify recommendations for improving efficiency, such as streamlining processes and encouraging cross-departmental interaction.
1) A survey found that executives who successfully transitioned to C-suite roles focused on communicating priorities, valuing their teams, spending time on culture, and understanding their unique leadership role.
2) Nearly half of executives said they were not effective at gaining support for new ideas, and over one-third did not meet objectives, but successful transitions did not require having all the answers immediately.
3) Executives who created a shared vision and strategic alignment, relied on their teams, understood culture, and had organizational support were most likely to report successful transitions, though many needed over 100 days to fully adapt to their new roles.

SURVEY REPORT
INTRODUCTION
Management of knowledge is one of the domineering methods that are being used by the companies in order to encounter their pre-emptive and planned requirements. It is comprised of the ingenuities, procedures, tactics and schemes that endure and boost the modification, sharing, assessment, and storage and information formulation. Therefore, the practices of knowledge management play an important role in attaining company goals and objectives in effective manner. It helps generating value for the company (Alegre, Sengupta and Lapiedra, 2013).SURVEY AIM
To find out the impact of knowledge management in Qatar Airways on their strategic planningOBJECTIVE
Objective of the conducted survey is to scrutinise practices of the knowledge management that affect the strategic planning activities and also evaluate the issues and factors that are associated with the knowledge management and put their both positive and negative impact on the strategic planning of the organisation. In order to analyse, the researcher emphasises on the following research objective:
· To identify the relationship between Knowledge management and strategic planning
· To evaluate the factors of KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT that affects the practices of strategic planning.
· To examine how the practices of strategic planning affect the corporate performance of Qatar airways.
· To determine the importance of strategic planning on Qatar airways.SURVEY QUESTION
Intended for obtaining the above-illustrated objectives of this project, the researcher will search pro solutions to the substantial questions:
· Is there any association among knowledge management and strategic planning?
· What are the major elements of knowledge management that affect the strategic planning practices of Qatar Airways?
· How the practices of knowledge management and strategic planning impact the performance of Qatar Airways?
· Are the practices of knowledge management important for organisations?REASEARCH FACTORS
Knowledge management communicates important information widely and quickly and it assists to address this difficulty throughout modified portal as well as particular search engines. If average procedures as well as measures have been distinct they ought to constantly be followed. There are many factors that involve knowledge management. They are either independent or depend on other factors. All these factors are categorized mainly into three categories which are further classified into other factors. (Lindner and Wald, 2011).

This document discusses fostering research for policy and practitioners through cohort and longitudinal studies. It provides an overview of CIFF's mission and strategic priority areas. CIFF seeks transformational impact through a systematic approach across sectors like education, nutrition, health, and climate change. CIFF currently has a portfolio of 57 investments totaling $560 million spread across innovation, pilot programs, delivery at scale, and systems change. The document discusses challenges in achieving scale and uptake of research findings, and how CIFF is approaching these challenges through clear theories of change, cost evaluations, communication of evidence, and partnerships.
Companies with strong implementation capabilities see greater financial benefits from change efforts and report higher rates of success. The survey found that companies identified as "good implementers", those in the top quartile of implementation capabilities, sustained more post-change financial value than others. Good implementers excel at organization-wide commitment to change and planning for sustainability of changes. They also report stronger performance on practices like continuous improvement and program management. As a result, good implementers are more likely to achieve financial benefits from changes years later and have an overall higher rate of successful change efforts.
This document summarizes interim results from a study on strategic change management. It provides the following key points:
- 85% of companies have experienced a strategic change in the past 5 years, with nearly 50% experiencing multiple changes. The top three types of changes were organizational restructuring, taking a new strategic direction, and downsizing.
- Most companies are not handling strategic changes very effectively, with around 20% saying their process was ineffective. Communication of goals, scope, and expectations is lacking.
- While internal communication is seen as most important, employees are often only informed once a change is happening. Few are engaged in early planning or post-execution phases.
- Having a change management plan in
Applying intelligent change readiness to achieve better change webinar

Content description:
An interactive session in which we explored change readiness – what it is and how can it be used more intelligently to enhance benefits and increase adoption of planned changes.
How do we best convert plans for change into effective preparation for and adoption of change?
We discussed the importance and benefits of change readiness. We explored what good change readiness looks like and when it should be done (spoiler alert – ideally more than once!).
Change and project managers can develop their change readiness practices to better understand the commitment to and capacity for planned changes and to target support to smooth the transition for those impacted by or responsible for adopting these.
To examine how well companies fare at portfolio management, as well as the role of the C-suite, this EIU study, Implementing the Project Portfolio: A Vital C-Suite Focus, sponsored by PMI, draws on a global survey of more than 500 senior executives from a range of industries, interviews with 10 corporate leaders and other experts, and substantial desk research.
Workplace Transformation Survey - A Global View of Workplace Change Guy Masse
The document is a summary of the results from a global workplace transformation survey conducted by Cushman & Wakefield and CoreNet Global. The key findings from the survey include:
1) Over 60% of organizations across regions are currently implementing or plan to implement workplace change programs within the next 12 months.
2) Respondents cited human resource factors like recruiting, productivity and work-life balance rather than cost factors as the main drivers of workplace change.
3) "Hoteling" or unassigned seating strategies are being adopted more rapidly in EMEA and APAC compared to North America.
4) Resistance from company management was viewed as the biggest barrier to workplace transformation.
5) Most respondents believed
Integrating Organisational Change within IT Transition and TransformationNUS-ISS
Presented by Jamie Donoghue, Principal Consultant, UXC Consulting at ISS-UXC Seminar: Move IT from Cost to Value Centre using IT Service Management and COBIT on 25 July 2014.
This independent evaluation report summarizes the impact of the BIG Assist program, which provided support to local voluntary organizations through funding and expertise. It finds that the majority of organizations achieved their initial goals with the support, such as creating strategic plans. Over half saw changes within their organization like increased income or new services. While sustainability impacts were still emerging, most organizations felt better equipped to adapt to changing conditions. The report concludes that BIG Assist generally helped organizations adjust to new challenges by facilitating strategic reflection, though success depended on finding an effective support partner and an organization's openness to change.
This document discusses organizational change through three main points. First, it examines three major theories of organizational change: the dialectic model, teleological model, and Burke's theory. Second, it analyzes a case study of change at Johnson & Johnson. Finally, it discusses trends in change readiness assessment and the use of digital tools to improve change management.
Simon Williams presented on three change practitioner groups - public services, transport, and utilities - operating in constrained and regulated environments. Each group identified challenges specific to their sector, such as political complexity, regulatory environments, and rising customer expectations. The public services group published a report highlighting the need for strong leadership, clear communication, and stakeholder engagement. The transport group's report recommended collectively sharing best practices. The utilities group is surveying members' change approaches. Williams concluded that positive change is challenging in highly regulated sectors due to long lead times, complex stakeholders, and public scrutiny.
This document summarizes a presentation given to the Enabling Change Special Interest Group on how to keep programmes on track and teams inspired during periods of change. The presentation covered: examining the roles delegates currently play in change; reviewing stages of team development and how leaders can support teams; presenting case studies and a checklist of strategies for keeping programmes on track. The speakers were Elisabeth Goodman and Martin Taylor, experts in change management who discussed tools and resources available through the Enabling Change SIG to help practitioners address challenges of leading teams through change.
Despite continued uncertain economic conditions, most companies remain persuaded that there is a strong causal link between their financial performance over a 5-10 year time horizon and their current commitment to improving their environmental, social and governance performance.
Against this background, a number of business leaders are reviewing their approach to sustainability, weighing new corporate strategies and new business models in efforts to ensure their long-term sustainability.

Data is power. AI changes everything.
If the claims about both are true, how can we ensure we use data and AI well? And what does it mean for the very things which make us human - our feelings?
In this workshop Carole will draw on material from her ground-breaking book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do to answer both questions.
“We like to think our decision making is completely rational. However, once there's an element of uncertainty, conscious assessments are only part of the story. Two other inputs, both subconscious and driven by our innate need to survive, have a big impact.
One, automatic reactions driven by cognitive biases, gets plenty of airtime.
The other input, our raw visceral emotions might be scary to talk about and less understood - but that’s not a reason to pretend they don’t exist!”
This interactive workshop will draw on material from Carole’s book, Neuroscience for Project Success: why people behave as they do, published by APM in 2022.
You’ll come away with:
a clear understanding of how the human brain works.
a framework that:
explains ‘why people behave as they do’.
makes it easier to talk about feelings in a matter-of-fact way (so that they become part of your conscious data set)
new insights into yourself and your projects in a world that’s often characterised by stress and disorder.
Act on these insights and you’ll see the impact - on your teams and stakeholders, your decisions about how to use data and AI, and ultimately your project outcomes.

Disruptive technology and accelerating change is the now the norm within business. Advancements that feel relatively recent are already becoming embedded into business-as-usual activity. AI is one such advancement; it is already being used and having real-world impacts across the project profession.
To help P3M professionals understand the implications of this change, APM invited representatives from organisations that have introduced or are preparing to introduce AI into their project workstreams, to explain their approach and share their insight with fellow professionals.
This webinar on explored how AI is currently being used in project and programme management, and how organisations are gearing up for its adoption.
Katharine works for WRAP which is a climate action NGO working in more than 40 countries around the globe to tackle the causes of the climate crisis and give the planet a sustainable future. In this session, you will learn about WRAP’s plastics programme and how sustainability has been incorporated as a core value in delivery of the programme, with the aim of inspiring the audience to take action in their own work.
Kai-Fu Lee predicted that AI would change the world more than anything in the history of humanity – even electricity. It would disrupt how we live and work, how we operate our businesses, the core products and services on offer and the way in which we build technology.
However, in 2024 the impact of AI can no longer be discussed in future tense. With Microsoft copilot now publicly available, the change is already upon us. There is no consultation period or ‘unsubscribe’ button.
Project management professionals are likely to be asked to manage AI projects - and we are expected to skilfully use AI in our daily work lives. While overwhelming, this is not the first time we’ve had to adapt.
Sarah helps her audience sharpen their cutting-edge skills by answering:
What do I need to know about AI right now?
If I’m asked to work on an AI project, what techniques do I need to be successful?
Where do I start my own learning journey to upskill and prepare?

5. Survey Analysis - Experience
More than two thirds of respondentsahave worked with change for
management as the primary part, or significant part of their role,
over 5 years
6. Survey Analysis – Approach to Change
their approach to
Over 50% of respondents describeincidental or none change
management as informal/ad hoc,
Respondents are experienced and well qualified but less than half
their organisations have a formal/structured approach to
change, which is a key finding from this survey
7. Survey Analysis – Approach Adding Value?
Only 41% believe their approach to change management provides
value most of the time or all of the time
This shows that there is significant potential for improving the
approach to change within organisations
8. Survey Analysis – Factors for Successful Change
By far the most important factor for success is executive commitment and sponsorship during
the implementation of change management and during the post-implementation phase
It was surprising to see that the use of a structured approach to implementing change was not
rated higher. This implies people feel this is important but it is not being applied in practice
9. Survey Analysis – SIG Scope
This response identifies the most important areas for the SIG to focus on as
cultural change, resistance to change, strategic change and change readiness
Leadership, stakeholder management and communications are also considered to
be important areas
