Many projects do not fail due to technical reasons.

When project outputs get transitioned to operations and the resultant changes go live, there is a huge resistance from the impacted functional organizations (especially for projects such as system integration, process improvement, and enterprise transformation).

In this presentation  S. Ramani (LinkedIn profile) discusses what can be done to make enterprise-wide transformation projects/programs more successful, by addressing the cultural and humanistic issues concerning change.

Best change management practices including those of John Kotter (LinkedIn profile) and William Bridges are illustrated in the background of speaker’s practical experience.
