The Importance of Organizational Change Management

Welcome to the PMO Strategies Podcast + Blog, where PMO leaders become IMPACT Drivers! PMI Talent Triangle: Power Skills (Leadership) Hey, IMPACT Driver!    Do you think that organizational change management belongs in the PMO or in a separate business unit? This has been a hot topic in recent years.   How exactly is it different from project management, and is it necessary? Can’t any project leader lead enterprise-wide change?    What if an intentional organizational change management function is what your PMO is missing?     This week, I welcome my friend and IMPACT Summit speaker, Jennie Fowler, to explore this topic with me.   Jennie has 25 years of experience in IT and Enterprise PM sectors across industries.
