Live Webinar November 5th, 2014 – 2:00 pm – 3:15 pm EST
Duration: 75 Minutes webinar Credits: 1 PDU Category A – Free PDU
Sponsored by: Change Management CoP (REP #S056)

Project sponsorship is a leading position “par excellence”. The project sponsor governs the project and consequently makes critical decisions that will inevitably impact the planning, execution and success -or not of the project.

This individual is required to have leadership competencies to be able to be a good navigator, roadblock remover, analyst, and sound decision maker.

Mission is accomplished only when business value is delivered to the organization.

With Organizational Change Management projects in particular, good leadership in executive sponsorship positions is in mounting anticipation.

The project sponsor is required to ensure sound change management practices are integrated with best practices in project management.

Since project sponsor’s role is still unclear to many, this role in change projects is certainly worth clarifying.

A study of sponsor’s activities as per PMI Managing Change in Organizations Practice Guide will be one of the highlights of the webinar.

In addition, a compelling case study on how executive sponsorship facilitated positive change in an organization will be presented.
