Project Management and Change Management are complimentary disciplines, and both are needed to realize benefits from investments in projects.

During this webinar, presenter Melanie Franklin will provide an easy-to-understand guide to the activities that will ensure project deliverables are adopted as new ways of working.

Mel will describe how those in project and programme management can (and should) collaborate with change professionals to achieve their shared goal of making a difference and achieving return on investment.

Melanie will also address the following key questions:

• Can (and when is it appropriate for) the roles of Project Manager and Change Manager be combined?
• Is there a conflict of interest when the roles are combined?

The era of COVID has presented new challenges for training remote and in-person employees and customers. While trainers feel they are heavily dependent on video conferencing, many quickly discover it alone can’t provide the robust and flexible communication needed to support all training scenarios.

Even with the right tools in place, it can be challenging for a training team to meet the growing training needs of a remote workforce.

In this webinar, Jim & Mark will discuss how companies are building a scalable training strategy by tapping into social and informal learning.

Join Aragon’s CEO and Lead Analyst Jim Lundy and Head of Enterprise Video Mark Lagemann from Panopto for a deep dive into that and more including:

• Why social learning with video is transforming how we do trainings today
• How this evolving technology supports your needs to customize learning for in-person and remote employees
• How tools like Panopto can help you overcome knowledge retention challenges through just-in-time learning

Presenters:

Jim Lundy (LinkedIn profile) is founder, CEO, and chief analyst for Aragon Research, specializing in content and knowledge management, collaboration, and mobile applications. His distinguished career has taken him to Gartner Group, Saba, and Xerox before founding Aragon.
