Life Sciences Webinar: Applied Organizational Change Management - Understand and Manage the Challenges to Project Success

DATE: Tuesday, July 19th, 2011
TIME: 1 pm EST
DURATION: 1 hour

Politics and “soft skills” are commonly blamed for project issues and even failure of integrating acquired organizations. In the times of fast-acquisition of life sciences companies and the demands for realizing return on those investments it is even more important to evaluate, understand and manage the impact of change from the top down. If this is so easy to identify as a problem, in hindsight, why is change management so hard to include from the beginning? Applied Change Management, introduced as a preventative measure, can raise the probability of success if introduced by a skilled practitioner and properly integrated with the project plan.

During this complimentary Webinar, we will provide you a basis for better understanding the challenges to project success that are often blamed when projects go bad, but are seldom managed proactively to prevent, or neutralize their impact.

By attending this Webinar, you will learn:

  • How to better understand the organizational challenges – from executive to operational/user level
  • Visual modeling to support creation of alignment at the leadership level
  • Visual modeling to support better understanding of the level of organizational objection, or willingness to participate
  • Methods for turning a largely subjective area into quantifiable and manageable information
  • Basics for creating an action plan to address the issues and challenges uncovered
  • How to integrate action plans back into the project management process to raise implementation success
