Too often change management is an after-thought, if it is considered at all. Our profession is not seen as an essential element in realising benefits, but an optional set of communication activities to explain projects to those impacted.

In this webinar, presenter Melanie Franklin (co-lead of the Change Management Institute’s UK Chapter) will argue that to get the recognition needed for the value of change management activities, we must explain the outcomes we achieve, demonstrating how we can help the business achieve its objectives.

Melanie will take us on a journey through the lifecycle of change, providing lots of examples of how change management reduces risk and increases the benefits of projects.

This webinar is relevant for anyone working in change management, project and programme management, business analysts and those in the PMO.

Presenter: Melanie Franklin, (LinkedIn profile, @AgileMelanie) has a track record of excellence in project, programme and portfolio planning & delivery. She has set up and run the project management capability for several major corporates and has been responsible for the successful delivery of global transformational change programmes for over twenty years. Co-chair of the Change Management Institute in the UK, Melanie is a ‘Master’ level change practitioner and author of many books on change and project management including Managing Business Transformation: A Practical Guide; Agile Change Management: A Practical Framework for Successful Change Planning and Implementation.  and her newest book Communicating Change: How to control your own change initiative.

Top athletes spend a lot of time mastering how to “win in the turns”, which is their strategy of taking calculated risks to deliver high returns.

Similarly, business executives must prepare to maneuver in strategy-shifting events.

Events like economic turns are common, but executives today must prepare for many more unexpected turns, such as catastrophic weather-related events, trade wars, political confrontations or market disruptions.

Gartner studied how 60 growth companies separated themselves from peers during the Great Recession, the biggest turn in recent memory.

In this Gartner webinar, Michael Uskert (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Supply Chain Chief Of Research reveals how you can develop your winning in the turns strategy by strengthening three core supply chain pillars: Strategy, Cost and Talent.

Discussion Topics:

• Prepare your strategy to act confidently amid uncertainty
• Implement cost management discipline to allocate and execute resources while spurring innovation
• Position talent to sustain progress on transformation
