Prosci specializes in change management processes.  With a strong developed expertise in change management processes they produce high quality informative presentations and seminars

PROSCI is great at explaining the ‘what’ of a change project or initiative, but they often don’t focus on the one message that inspires people to take action – the ‘why’ of the change.

As a result, people don’t commit to the change and may focus narrowly on how it will impact them.

In this interactive webinar, PROSCI will apply a simple model for crafting a compelling ‘why’ for your change that will get you thinking, communicating, and engaging your organization in a new and powerful way.

PROSCI will also explore the use of storytelling to communicate your ‘why’ on an emotional and personal level.

The webinar will include time for you to begin crafting your ‘why’ and engage with other participants who are doing the same.

Come with a change in mind to work on during the webinar.

This interactive webinar will bridge the knowledge to ability gap with a structured walk-through of the comprehensive resources available.

Karen Ball (LinkedIn profile) PROSCI, Director of Solution Design and Dave Feske,  (LinkedIn profile) PROSCI Client Success Manager will address how you can leverage the Practitioner eToolkit to drive individual transitions and success for your projects and change initiatives.

PROSCI literally “wrote the books” on Change Management:

• ADKAR®: A Model for Change in Business, Government and our Communityby Jeffrey M. Hiatt
  • ADKAR®—awareness, desire, knowledge, ability and reinforcement
• Change Management: The People Side of Change by Jeffrey M. Hiatt

These texts are a MUST READ for anyone performing Change management as a part of their role!

In the early days of navigation, areas on charts that had not yet been explored were labeled with “there be dragons” – this was intended to warn explorers of dangers of the unknown.

The same is with projects, as we launch into the uncharted waters of innovative projects, we must be wary of dragons and other monsters that may lurk around the corner.

The question is how do we manage the unknown?

Projects that comprise more questions than answers are a different beast and need a different approach to effectively tackle them.

Leveraging the concept of progressive elaboration, we will look at how we can manage projects that are a moving target of change with many unknowns lurking around the corner. In effect, we will learn how to train your dragon.

Learning Objectives & Outcomes:

• Identify strategies to manage highly innovative projects.
• Adjust project management approach to suit the type of project being managed.
• Apply progressive elaboration within a project management framework.

Audience:

• Project managers, change managers, and project coordinators.
• Project team members who are dealing with projects that contain unknowns.
