Two sides of the same coin: how change managers and project managers are partnering on transformative programs of work for sustainable outcomes.
A jointly hosted AIPM and CMI event showcasing two significant digital transformation projects and programs of work where the partnership and collaboration between the project and change manager is critical to successfully embedding sustainable outcomes. Attending this event will provide you with the opportunity to understand how the guest presenters approach working in partnership and how they are fostering the culture within their respective organisations to advocate and demonstrate the significant value of doing so.
This event is likely to appeal to all project managers and change managers who wish to explore the benefits of working in partnership with each other, or who are already advocating for the dual benefits of setting up Project Change Management Offices (PCMO's).
This 3-minute animation provides a snapshot overview of the differences and overlaps between change management and project management
