A PMI Lakeshore Chapter Professional Development Event
Change Management... Myths, Models and Methods
Four PDUs can be claimed by certified PMPs for attending this presentation.
Presentation Abstract
Change Management is difficult - but the Myths we subscribe to add to that difficulty. This session will explore the Myths of Change, describe some very simple, but immediately useful Change Process models, and provide an array of tools to use on a wide variety of Change projects.
The objective of the session is to provide not just a deep understanding of the Change Process, but tools that will immediately enable all of your Change initiatives to move towards your stated goals.
Peter's sessions are known throughout PMI worldwide for a very high level of interactivity, deep content, and thought provoking ideas. It is always worthwhile to invite either your management, your team and/or your clients to join Peter's sessions. His talks are useful to all levels of management and to those who must implement organizational change over which they have no control.
