Driving success through collaboration: Change Management and Project Management in harmony webinar

The APM Enabling Change Interest Network and Change Management Institute collaborated again on Tuesday 13 January, for an interactive webinar exploring how Change Managers and Project Managers can work together to deliver projects that not only meet deadlines but also achieve lasting adoption and business impact.

What they learnt:

• The Evolving Roles - Understand how project and change management are shifting from distinct functions to complementary skillsets—and what that means for you.
• Collaboration Across the Lifecycle - Discover how embedding change management into project delivery accelerates adoption, maximises benefits realisation, return of investment and improves outcomes.
• Real-World Lessons - Hear practical examples of success stories and cautionary tales where collaboration (or lack of it) made a measurable difference.

Resources
This webinar was broadcast by Change Management Institute, and they will make the resources on their website shortly afterwards.
